Parliament on Street - 17 August 2026 Issue
▪
SubscribeThe resilience of Indian democracy lies less in the certainty of its institutions than in the persistence of its citizens. Across decades, governments with formidable parliamentary strength have learnt that political authority cannot rest on electoral arithmetic alone. It must be sustained by a continuing conversation with the people. The protests over the NEET ( National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) paper leak, culminating in the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, mark the latest chapter in that larger democratic story. This issue of Outlook examines how a movement led largely by young Indians reaffirmed an old principle of the Republic: that power derives its legitimacy not only from the vote, but also from accountability.
