India's growing economic and socio-political importance on the
global stage has triggered an increased interest in that country.
Scholars, policy analysts, students and the curious layperson alike
are keen to gain a basic understanding of the ways in which the
world's largest democracy functions. As a result, there is at
present an unprecedented need for a ready reference that provides a
concise but comprehensive introduction to the central themes of
Indian politics and this Handbook fills this niche. Chapters are
structured along the themes of state, society, and the politics
that links the two in the context of post-Independence India. In
the section entitled The State' a spectrum of India's leaders;
institutions, such as political parties and federalism; economic
growth and social development; and politics in different states are
examined. The section on Society' analyzes identity politics; the
relationship between religion and society; and various aspects of
civil society. The final section -- International Perspectives' --
analyzes India's foreign relations as well as a selection of
national security issues. The contributions are written by experts
in their respective field, and consequently, the handbook offers an
invigorating initiation into the seemingly daunting and complex
terrain of Indian politics. It is targeted primarily towards
academics, policy analysts, researchers and graduates as well as
undergraduate students.
