Indien Demokratisering : En fallstudie om vägen mot ett demokratiskt samhälle

This qualitative case study aims to explain the cause behind India's unique and in some aspect’s deviant democratization process. Due to the abstinence of a clear official date for Indian democratic transition, a time between the year of 1947 during the time of its independence and the year of 1975 has been chosen for the specific study. The theoretical foundation is based on the theory of civil society and the economic theory, also known as the modernization theory, based on the works of Martin Seymour Lipset. India's democratic transition is deeply connected to the struggle for independence which has roots back in the colonial period. The Indian civil society would see significant mobilization during the first decades of the 20th century and would play a major role in both during the independence movement as well as the initiator of the nation's democratization process.The modernization theory would prove to not be as significant as the civil society. Based on the low level of overall economic development a democratic transition depending on the nation's economic development or modernization would seem improbable.
