The second edition of this textbook brings together general
political theory and the comparative method to interpret
socio-political phenomena and issues that have occupied the Indian
state and society since 1947. It considers the progress that India
has made in some of the most challenging aspects of post-colonial
politics such as governance, democracy, economic growth, welfare,
and citizenship. Looking at the changed global role of India, its
standing in the G-20 and BRICS, as well as the implications of the
2014 Indian general elections for state and society, this updated
edition also includes sections on the changing socio-political
status of women in India, corruption and terrorism. The author
raises several key questions relevant to Indian politics,
including: * Why has India succeeded in making a relatively
peaceful transition from colonial rule to a resilient, multi-party
democracy in contrast to its South Asian neighbours? * How has the
interaction of modern politics and traditional society contributed
to the resilience of post-colonial democracy? * How did India's
economy moribund-for several decades following Independence-make a
breakthrough into rapid growth and can India sustain it? * And
finally, why have collective identity and nationhood emerged as the
core issues for India in the twenty-first century and with what
implications for Indian democracy? The textbook goes beyond India
by asking about the implications of the Indian case for the general
and comparative theory of the post-colonial state. The factors
which might have caused failures in democracy and governance are
analysed and incorporated as variables into a model of democratic
governance. In addition to pedagogical features such as text boxes,
a set of further readings is provided to guide readers who wish to
go beyond the remit of this text. The book will be essential
reading for undergraduate students and researchers in South Asian
and Asian studies, political science, development studies,
sociology, comparative politics and political theory.
