This book analyses the rise and growth of the Hindu nationalist
party Bharatiya Jana Sangh in post independent India, tracking the
electoral journey of the party from 1951 to 1971. Offering a
comprehensive analysis of the party Bharatiya Jana Sangh - its
origin, ideas and electoral performances in the first two decades
of its journey - the book provides an overview of the state-wise
electoral record of the party mobilizing Hindu support and managing
factional disputes. It surveys the issues of conflicts between the
intraparty factions dominated by the recruits from the Rastriya
Swayamseyak Sangh and the others. The author also presents a
critique of the Hindutva politics of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh on
account of its somewhat imperfect appeal among the masses and its
problems in raising real issues of socio-economic concern. With a
special emphasis on the states situated outside the Hindi language
belt of Northern India, the electoral outcome of the Jana Sangh
during each national and state legislative elections are analysed.
Based on the dialectics of ideology and exigency, this book makes a
thorough investigation of the leadership-succession crises in the
party, patterns of vote sharing at the regional level and trends of
coalition with the non-Congress parties in the states. Providing a
nuanced understanding of the processes leading to the strengthening
of right-wing political parties in India, the book will be of
interest to academics working in the fields of nationalism, party
politics and South Asian Politics.
