First sentence: Just when adoption of Liberal democracy seemed to be perceived as the 'end point of India's evolution as a democracy', 43 years later the 73rd Amendment came as a challenge, threatening to knock out the feudal glass ceiling over India's democracy.
Description: Essentially aimed at comparative decentralization scholars and those engaged with the praxis of the art of local governance, the book is a modest attempt at showcasing how even a relatively well 'developed policy' such as Goa seeks to go through the motion of devolution without engendering meaningful participatory governance and by working the development process by exclusion.
