This research paper critically examines the phenomenon of democratic backsliding in India, analyzing threats, causes, and potential remedies up to the year 2017. Utilizing a combination of quantitative data and qualitative insights, the paper explores key issues such as electoral integrity, political polarization, media manipulation, and socio-economic disparities. Case studies, including political crises and legal controversies, provide a nuanced understanding of democratic erosion. Drawing on international perspectives, the research compares India's trajectory with global trends, highlighting shared challenges. The paper proposes a comprehensive strategy for addressing democratic backsliding, encompassing legislative reforms, institutional strengthening, media literacy, international collaboration, and socio-economic empowerment. By delving into public opinion, minority rights, and civil liberties, the paper offers a holistic approach to fortify India's democratic foundations.
