The Economist Intelligence Unit, which provides a snapshot of the state of democracy worldwide, recently released its 2020 Democracy Index’s global ranking, and India has slipped two places to 53rd position. India was ranked 51st in the 2019 Democracy Index. The report said that the ‘democratic backsliding’ by authorities and ‘crackdowns’ on civil liberties has led to a further decline in the country’s ranking.
