 India by Anoop Sadanandan (Assistant Professor\, Department of Political S
 cience\, Syracuse University)India amended its constitution in 1992 to pro
 mote local democracy. The amendment required state governments to set up e
 lected local councils (panchayats) and devolve governance to them.Two deca
 des hence\, some states have decentralized administrative and financial re
 sources to democratically elected panchayats\, while others sideline them 
 to carry out administration via state-appointed bureaucrats. What explains
  this variation in the degree of decentralization that we observe in India
 n states?
