An objective and dispassionate study of the oldest religion based
regional political party: the Shiromani Akali Dal, participating in
the democratic politics and processes of socio-economic development
and transformation of the country. It delineates and analyses
events and developments from the emergence of the Akali Dal, as a
religious movement, its transformation into a religious political
party, concerned with safeguarding the political, social and
economic interests of the Sikhs as a minority and to represent them
in governing institutions, engaged in the struggle for power in
secular domain mobilising the community support using the ideology
of fusion of religion and politics, yet lacking equal support from
different sections of the community. Rather than dwelling on a mere
narrative of events and describing strategies, tactics and
agitations of the Akalis an attempt has been made to understand why
and how social and economic antagonisms arising out of generation
and articulation of demands in a pluralistic society, undergoing
modernization and democratization may be marked by identity
politics. The study is located in the broader framework of rise and
growth of regional parties and identity politics in India as a part
and consequence of India's adopted model of state and nation
building, integration and socio-economic development and
transformation.
