✒️:. Shahid Manzoor Bhat
There are many books that talk about India, but some books try to truly understand it. Democracy and Inequality in India is one of those rare books. In this work, Kohli and Murali do more than simply describe events—they explain how politics and the economy are connected and how they shape people’s lives.
The authors show that India is full of contrasts. It is a vibrant democracy where people vote regularly and take part in elections. At the same time, many people still struggle with poverty and inequality. The country has experienced strong economic growth, yet the benefits of that growth have not reached everyone equally. This mix of progress and problemneqs is at the heart of the book.
One of the biggest strengths of the book is how clearly it is organized. It first looks at politics from the top—how leaders, parties, and government policies work. Then it shifts to politics from below, focusing on ordinary people and social groups.
