India domesticates the standard social-movement repertoire into parliament-oriented claim-making

Evidence

Despite all this, India provides a remarkable model of peaceful political mobilization within the limits of the standard social-movement repertoire: associations, public meetings, press statements, demonstrations, petitions, and lobbying. Tracing back to the period of anti-British independence movements, Indian activists have mainly hewed to their own domesticated forms of the Parliament-oriented claim-making they deployed so effectively in pressing for Indian rights. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 522

Categorization

• XREF: Directly relevant to the reader’s test: if India is a high-capacity flawed democracy where institutional absorption works, this passage supports the claim that constitutional channels defuse confrontational repertoire. — connects to: Nonrevolutionary claim-making forms later become available as revolutionary instruments when repertoires diffuse — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 984; Regimes shape claim-making repertoires through control, constitution of claimants, and issue streams — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1168; Tacit forms of parliamentarism persist where explicit ones are abolished — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 951
• QUESTION: Does Tilly anywhere disaggregate whether this domesticated repertoire reflects the regime’s high institutional capacity channeling contention, or inherited cultural precedent? His framework could assign both causes.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 522
