Economist's Democracy Index: India Down To Rank 53
On Economist Intelligence Unit's (EIU) 2020 Democracy Index, India has relegated by two places to obtain the 53rd position of all the 167 countries evaluated. As per EIU's report, India's global rank receded due to the administration-led democratic recession and deliberate limitations on civil liberties. Additionally, it alleged that the BJP government had tainted the conceptualisation of Indian citizenship with communalism, thereby weakening the secular foundations of the Indian state.
