“The Troubling State of India's Democracy, edited by Šumit Ganguly, Dinsha Mistree, and Larry Diamond, is a timely and frank analysis of the decline of Indian democracy over the last decade. While the overall picture the essays in this book paint is deeply worrisome, the essays are reader friendly and engaging. The book also offers hope that growing pockets of resistance could, some day, reverse the decline. The book should be read by anyone interested in India, including in its place in the geopolitics of the coming decades.”— Raghuram Rajan, University of Chicago Booth School of Business
“The Troubling State of India's Democracy is engaging, thought-provoking, and interrogative as the authors have shown acumen and capacity to weave a range of diverse issues that expeditiously portray the ground realities of India’s democracy. Authors of the chapters shift our gaze, in other words, by trying to change the terms of reference for understanding the political complexities that grip India today.”— Surinder Mohan, University of Jammu
