Decoding India's Democracy: A Conversation with M.G. Devasahayam"
In this episode of "The Legacy of India's Imagination," we engage in an insightful dialogue with Mr. M.G. Devasahayam. A distinguished personality, Devasahayam has served as a soldier, an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer, and is currently spearheading the coordination between several civil society organizations dedicated to upholding democracy.
In this dialogue, Mr. Devasahayam discusses his close association with Loknayak Jayprakash Narayan, sharing insights from their private conversations during the Emergency, when Devasahayam was the District Magistrate and Inspector General of prisons for Chandigarh.
We delve into why JP declined to join Nehru's cabinet and his refusal to become Prime Minister after Nehru's death. Additionally, Devasahayam sheds light on the role of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in drafting India's constitution, highlighting the potential implications for grassroots democracy in the country.
