Our Political System By Subhash Kashyap Top [top] Jun 2026

When we speak of understanding India’s complex, vibrant, and often chaotic political system, few names command as much respect as Dr. Subhash C. Kashyap. A former Secretary-General of the Lok Sabha, a prolific constitutional expert, and the author of over 70 books, Kashyap has dedicated his life to decoding the machinery of Indian governance. His seminal work, Our Political System , remains a must-read for students, civil servants, and citizens alike.

Before the Anti-Defection Law (1985), India saw mass floor-crossings. While the 10th Schedule (Anti-Defection Law) stopped open horse-trading, Kashyap argues it created a new evil: the dictatorship of the party whip . He suggests a solution: defection should lead to not just disqualification from the House but also a ban on contesting elections for the remaining term. our political system by subhash kashyap top
