The Challenge to Democracy in India

India's true strength is its diversity. And there are very few examples around the world in which that kind of diversity coexers with a functioning electoral democracy. The challenge to democracy doesn't run through suspending elections, but rather by recognizing that elections can be won in a free and fair manner by appealing to very majoritarian tendencies. So what does a future India look like if 200 plus million of its citizens no longer feels welcome in society? We lose our one true example of a developing country with a genuinely multi religious, multi ethnic, competitive, multi party system.
