Abstract

Organized crime in India is not merely a law enforcement problem; it is a deep-rooted socio-political phenomenon that corrodes the very foundations of democracy, governance, and social cohesion. This paper examines the historical evolution of organized crime in India, its principal manifestations, its far-reaching social, economic, and political impacts, the legal frameworks enacted to combat it, and the challenges that persist. The paper also incorporates the author’s personal reflections on why this menace demands urgent and honest national reckoning.
