Politics Reimagined: An Exploration Of P

Politics Is Often Seen As Inseparable From Politicians. Yet, As Trust In Elected Leaders Collapses And Democracies Falter Under Corruption, Partisanship, And Populism, A Pressing Question Emerges: Do We Actually Need Politicians To Govern?Politics Reimagined: An Exploration Of Politics Without Politicians Takes This Question Head-On. Written By Maj Gen Anil Sengar And Capt Sanjay Gahlot, Both Steeped In A Lifetime Of Service And Integrity, The Book Examines How Politics—The Negotiation Of Power, Resources, And Collective Decisions—Has Been Hijacked By Those Meant To Uphold It. Drawing On History, Case Studies From India And Abroad, And Global Crises From Climate Change To Endless Wars, The Authors Reveal How Traditional Politics Has Failed The People. Beyond Critique, It Serves As A Blueprint For Possibility. From Athens’ Assemblies And Switzerland’S Referendums To The Promise Of Digital Platforms And Decentralised Governance, Politics Reimagined Explores How Societies Might Reclaim Politics Without Relying On Politicians Themselves. It Asks How Ordinary Citizens, Experts, And Communities Can Play A More Direct Role In Shaping Decisions That Affect Their Lives. Provocative And Urgent, This Book Challenges Readers To Separate The Essence Of Politics From The Individuals Who Dominate It. In Doing So, It Dares Us To Imagine Governance That Is More Accountable, Participatory, And Closer To The Ideals Democracy Was Meant To Serve.
