'In this rich and comprehensive portrait of India's parliament, Ronojoy Sen skillfully exposes the continuing paradox and now deep crisis of the world's largest democracy. While India's parliament has become 'much more representative of Indian society,' it also reflects continuing democratic deficits, including the under-representation of women and Muslims, procedural disruption, corruption, criminal intrusion into politics, and the ominous trend of populist majoritarianism. House of the People is an essential work for understanding the trajectory and contradictions of India's democracy.' Larry Diamond, Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University
