This new collection examines the emergence of the Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) in India and the ways in which its Hindu nationalist
agenda has been affected by the constraints of being a dominant
member of a coalition government. Religious influence in
contemporary politics offers a fertile ground for
political-sociological analysis, especially in societies where
religion is a very important source of collective identity. In
South Asian societies religion can, and often has, provided
legitimacy to both governments and those who oppose them. This book
examines the emergence of the BJP and the ways in which its Hindu
nationalist agenda has been affected by the constraints of being a
dominant member of a coalition government. The collected authors
take stock of the party's first full term in power, presiding over
the diverse forces of the governing NDA coalition, and the 2004
elections. They assess the BJP's performance in relation to its
stated goals, and more specifically how it has fared in a range of
policy fields - centre-state relations, foreign policy, defence
policies, the 'second generation' of economic reforms, initiatives
to curb corruption and the fate of minorities. Explicitly linking
the volume to literature on coalition politics, this book will be
of great importance to students and researchers in the fields of
South Asian studies and politics.
