Can Federalism Save India’s Constitutional Democracy?

Abstract

Madhav Khosla's brilliant book, India's Founding Moment , is self-consciously a work on the history of ideas. Nonetheless, the subtitle of India's Founding Moment — The Constitution of a Most Surprising Democracy —implies that Khosla draws a connection between the ideas that shaped the creation of constitutional democracy in India and its endurance. In this review, I pose the question of whether the design of the Constitution can be a source of constitutional resilience against the rising threat of authoritarianism and Hindu majoritarianism.
