Question

what is lok niti? and his work

Answer 1

Lokniti - Programme for Comparative Democracy was established in 1997 as a research programme of the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS), New Delhi. The CSDS is an autonomous social science research institution. Since the inception of the CSDS in 1963, the writings of scholars like Rajni Kothari, D.L. Sheth and Ashis Nandy have become a point of reference for various attempts from the South to question the global establishment view of democracy. The CSDS has argued in favour of a more humane holistic view of democracy that goes beyond democratic institutions ad processes in their arrow sense and emphasises the survival of dissent and cultural contents of the civil society as central concerns of democracy.
