印度作为世界上最大的民主国家的地位经常受到称赞，但2019年公开的印度教民族主义者印度人民党的连任增加了对印度多民族民主和法治威胁的担忧。印度并不是唯一面临与多数民族主义相关挑战的民主国家;民主制度中多数“权利”的语言在世界范围内兴起。因此，分析多数人的权利在民主制度内日益制度化的程度就更加重要。至关重要的是，要确定民族民主的趋势是否在增加（以及在什么条件下增加）。民主制度中很可能出现红旗，预示着潜在的前进方向。本文提出了一种方法，以确定民族民主程度的正式和非正式的措施相结合，并说明它通过评估印度通过检查反穆斯林的政策和言论。
The status of India as the world's largest democracy is often lauded, but the re‐election of the overtly Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party in 2019 has increased concerns about the threat to India's multinational democracy and the rule of law. India is not the only democracy facing challenges related to majoritarian nationalism; there has been a worldwide rise in the language of majority ‘rights’ in democratic systems. The importance of analysing the extent to which the rights of majorities are being increasingly institutionalized within democratic systems has therefore increased. It is vitally important to identify whether tendencies toward ethnic democracy are increasing (and the conditions under which they do so). There may well be red flags that emerge in democratic systems, heralding the potential direction of travel. This article proposes a methodology to identify degrees of ethnic democracy using a combination of formal and informal measures and illustrates it by assessing India through an examination of anti‐Muslim policies and rhetoric.
