ABSTRACT
Over the years, the criminalization of politics in India has accelerated at an alarming rate, endangering the survival of Indian democracy. This research paper provides information about this subject. It begins by outlining what political criminalization is and how it endangers democracy. The issue's current state, its underlying causes, and their numerous effects on the economy, society, politics, and other areas are then examined in detail. Because the problem is so serious, the Supreme Court has also issued a number of historic rulings to deal with it. Although the judiciary must take stronger action, fighting against this criminalization of politics and defending the nation's democracy is not just the judiciary's responsibility, it also falls on the government and the country's citizens.
Keywords: - Criminalization of Politics, Democracy, Criminals, Judiciary, Crime, India and Citizens.
