Delivering Democracy in India

On February 13, Hudson Institute and the Embassy of India hosted a daylong conference of scholars, diplomats, members of Indian parliament, and think tank leaders to discuss Indias democratic, economic, and societal achievements. They also analyzed the challenges that lie ahead, and opportunities for the worlds largest democracy. Over the last few decades India has successfully remained a democracy with strong political institutions, civilian supremacy over its military, and an overall vibrant economy and society. India has achieved this within a multireligious, multiethnic society all while combatting the influences of regional adversaries. The conference convened expert panels to discuss governance, society, the economy, and how these forces interact in India.
