Challenges to Indian Polity in the 21st Century

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Encompass populist politics, digital misinformation, identity-based polarization, growing inequalities, and regional demands for autonomy. Constitutional institutions adapt through legal reforms, e-governance, and dynamic judicial interpretations. However, caste-based mobilization, communal tensions, or radical movements test the resilience of democracy. Rapid urbanization strains local bodies, while climate change intensifies resource conflicts. The Constitution’s flexibility, anchored in fundamental rights and cooperative federalism, remains a stabilizing force. Strengthening local governance, bridging digital divides, ensuring economic inclusion, and sustaining institutional independence are vital for upholding constitutional ideals. India’s polity, though robust, requires continuous innovation to fulfill its founding promise of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity for all.
