By Om Prakash Bang
India's democracy stands at a crossroads. Endless elections, hereditary politics, and lifelong privileges have turned governance into spectacle rather than service. Reclaiming Democracy is a citizen's manifesto that exposes these systemic flaws and offers practical, visionary reforms to restore dignity, fairness, and accountability in public life.
Om Prakash Bang - author, consultant, and civic reform advocate - examines how India's Parliament can evolve to meet the demands of a modern, technology-driven nation. He challenges outdated norms like the Cubic Root Law, arguing that expanding seats is no longer the solution. Instead, he proposes smarter representation through digital governance, transparency, and real-time accountability.
The book explores urgent reforms:
Minimum qualifications and fitness criteria for politicians
Upper age limits and ethical standards for leadership
Women's representation and youth inclusion
One Nation, One Election for efficiency and stability
Vigilance against corruption and misuse of public funds
Drawing lessons from Japan, Germany, and New Zealand, Bang shows how inclusivity and competence can coexist - and how India can "do more with less" by leveraging technology and integrity.
Independent, unbiased, and deeply researched, Reclaiming Democracy is not aligned with any party or ideology. It is a call to citizens to transform frustration into reform and reclaim democracy for the people.
A must-read for every Indian who believes governance should serve, not rule.
