India is the world's largest, youngest and the most representative democratic nation. On the eve of our 69th Republic Day, it is necessary to look into the journey and functioning of parliamentary democracy. The stability of functional democracy in India is evident from the 16 continuous and competitive elections to Parliament, separation of powers between the various organs of government, an independent judiciary, federalism and free media.
(ii) The citizens of India have shown faith and trust in parliamentary democracy from time to time by participating in the elections. The voter turnout in the last general elections was 66.44%, the highest since 1951. This compares with the voting percentage in the most recent parliamentary elections in the UK (66.12%) and the US (65.44%).
Given this impressive electoral legitimacy of the Parliament, the question that needs to be asked is, to what extent the Parliament has functioned effectively to achieve the goals of justice, equality, liberty and fraternity as enshrined in the preamble of the Constitution. The analysis has been carried out on the basis of three governance indicators - law-making, social inclusion and institutional effectiveness.
(iii) In the 1950-60s, Parliament, the law-making organ of the State, used to meet, on an average, 125-130 days in a year. This has come down to just 65-70 days in the last decade. It means that the amount of time for which Parliament sits and deliberates has declined by almost 50% between 1960 and 2010. The highest number of sittings of the Lok Sabha was 151 - in 1956. In fact, 2017 was the year of the lowest number of sittings - 57 - as per the data of PRS Legislative Research.
The first Lok Sabha from 1952-57 had 677 sittings in which 319 bills were passed. In comparison, the 14th Lok Sabha from 2004-2009 had 332 sittings and passed 247 bills; the 15th Lok Sabha had 357 sittings and passed 181 bills; the 16th Lok Sabha has had 226 sittings and passed only 129 bills (up to the 11th session).
