Democratic Decentralization in India

This book explores experiences, issues and challenges which have emerged since constitutional status was granted to the local bodies at grass-roots level in India in the early 1990s. Among other issues, it focuses on:

the contrasting political ideas of Mahatma Gandhi and B. R. Ambedkar on Panchayati Raj Institutions
the legal and constitutional provisions which were introduced through the 73rd and 74th Amendment Acts
the devolution process, status and challenges of democracy for local governmental bodies
empowerment of the historically marginalized through reservations in the local bodies
governance in Schedule V and VI tribal areas
conflict resolution and capacity building of local governance

Based on extensive fieldwork across India, this volume will be useful to scholars and researchers of political science, sociology, public administration as well as policy makers and civil society activists.

E. Venkatesu teaches in the Department of Political Science, University of Hyderabad, India. He was member of faculty at the National Institute of Rural Development (200411) and was Research and Training Coordinator at the Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty (2000 2004). He has published several books including Panchayats and Building of Model Villages (2013), Grassroots Politics in India (2008) and Democracy and Development: A Backward Classes Perspective (in Telugu, 2004).

One of Indias remarkable experiments after independence has been the mode of institutionalization of power to subserve self-rule at various levels of the polity. Concerns such as fairness, diversity and difference have been add-ons to it. There are many flaws in this endeavour but there are few today who deny its need. This volume documents this great experiment through specific case studies of many states, communities and concerns in India.

This book brings together critical evaluations of the various contemporary issues and aspects of decentralized governance in India. This is particularly welcome as many of the authors are young and upcoming researchers in the field. Various chapters of the book throw light on the evolution of the institutions of democratic decentralization, recent legislation, and problems in making such institutions work by situating them in the actual social structures and political practice.
