💨 Abstract

The article discusses India's diversity, political evolution, and ongoing challenges. It highlights the effective management of regional differences by the Congress party post-independence, but criticizes the failure of democracy to deliver sustained economic development and eliminate extreme poverty. The Constitution is secular, although religion plays a significant role in politics, with politicians often courting votes based on caste or religious affiliation. Hindu nationalists have long advocated for redefining India as a Hindu homeland.
