Answer and Explanation:
India's decentralization does indeed ensure greater participation by people in the political decision-making process. This is because decentralization diminishes the power of the federal and state government and transfers a part of that power to local governments, which are closer to citizens and are able to understand more efficiently how political decisions must be taken for citizens to be beneficiaries. These citizens, in turn, have greater freedom to express their opinions to the local government than to the state and federal government, which guarantees their participation in decision-making.
