We hosted a Colloquium on 'Limits of Democracy' on 20th January at Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (IGIDR), Mumbai with 23 participants including industry leaders, policy experts, researchers and academics. The colloquium served as a platform to understand the limits and possibilities of Indian democracy, primarily in terms of the productive and protective roles of the state. The day-long colloquium also deliberated on the need for constitutional reforms, Indian electoral politics and the possibilities of minimising the state for maximum governance.
Our participants included Rajesh Jain, Founder & Managing Director of Netcore Solutions; Shagata Mukherjee, Professor, Meghnad Desai Academy of Economics; Parth Shah, President, Centre for Civil Society; and Makarand Bakore, Lawyer, Bombay High Court among others.
