Suffrage in Shackles
A Case for Enfranchising Prisoners in India
After 72 years of adopting universal adult franchise in its Constitution, India has remained unperturbed to the cause of voting rights of prisoners. The latest judicial decisions regarding the issue also justify disenfranchisement using the same line of thought as was used in the colonial times.

Suffrage is the pivotal right.
