Abstract
India, the world's largest democracy, faces a long-standing issue that threatens its democratic core: the influence of money in politics, especially during elections. The nexus between politics and money has evolved into a complex problem, deeply embedded in the system. Corruption tied to campaign finance and political funding hinders the effectiveness of governance, leads to compromised policy decisions, and hinders social development. This article explores the roots of this issue, its manifestations in Indian elections, and potential approaches to curbing election-related corruption.
