Abstract
In this Article, significant security legislation in India and trace the ways in which it enhances the executive’s powers are examined. I argue that the usual constitutional limits on the executive—electoral democracy, legislative scrutiny, judicial review, and constitutional rights—have failed to restrain the executive’s power and actions under security laws.
