This book sketches the history of political forces in modern India.
It begins defining these political categories of left, right and
far-right with the usual reference to French Revolution (for want
of an indigenous equivalent), and discusses movement of forces
towards left, or towards the right from the balance of
socio-political forces or status quo at a point of time in India.
It recalls historical facts, uses chronological order for clarity
and leaders’ names and political parties, their world view and
ideas of nation, social groups they represented, and their
movements. It progresses by reopening only a few windows to modern
Indian history and looks at periods like, the 1920-30s, and
1970-80s, when there were significant movements and consolidation
of socio-political forces to the right and far right. At the late
1960s and early 1970s, there were a series of policy proposals,
legislations to nationalize assets and launch direct attacks on
poverty that marked a sharp turn to the leftist ideology in Delhi
(the central government of the time). Following these, a coalition
of mostly right-wing forces rose to challenge the government at the
centre and succeeded. This occurred in the context of heated Cold
War geopolitics. Taylor and Francis does not sell or distribute the
print editions of this book in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan,
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
