The Special Intensive Revision of the electoral rolls in Bihar is a test case for the constitutional soul of the republic
THE Election Commission of India's (ECI) decision to undertake a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls in Bihar in 2025 has created serious constitutional, legal, and political concerns.
Ostensibly aimed at purifying the electoral rolls, the process—timed months before a crucial state election—is being widely critiqued as a bureaucratic manoeuvre that could disenfranchise the poor, migrant labourers, and marginalised communities. India's democracy is structurally hostage to electoral strategies rather than genuinely reflective of people's choices, and in recent years, the ECI has become an additional tool in the hands of the government to perpetuate its rule.
