The democratic Left in India is in crisis. During the first decade
of this century it slid from its highest parliamentary presence to
virtual irrelevance. A key to its retrieval, this book argues, lies
in its ability to imagine a new popular politics for reinventing
its democratic credentials beyond electoral posturing. In this
respect, much can be learnt from the Left's governmental practices
as they have evolved since the late 1960s, crafting a unique blend
of politics, policy, idealism, practicality, vision and delivery.
By looking at the problematics of government from the days of deft
land reforms to messy land acquisition, this book situates
'government as practice' as a prism for critical thinking on
democratic politics in postcolonial India. Grounded in empirical
and archival research, the book will be useful for those who are
passionate as well as sceptical about the revival potentials of a
new Left in India's fast-changing political economy.
