It has been the subject of much recent commentary that 62 years after the creation of India’s Constitution, the nation struggles to balance the ethos of an industry-based economic ‘growth’ that seems to foment inequity with that of a socialism aimed at bringing socio-economic parity among its citizens. The situation is similar vis-à-vis the other guiding ideal of India’s statecraft as well. On the one hand, the elected representatives of the people continue to disregard the spirit of civilised discourse that is the cornerstone of representative democracy; on the other hand, there has emerged an overactive ‘civil society’ that seems to behave like the moral guardian of the polity.
