This book considers the remarkable transformations that have taken
place in India since 1980, a period that began with the
assassination of the formidable Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Her
death, and that of her son Rajiv seven years later, marked the end
of the Nehru-Gandhi era. Although the country remains one of the
few democracies in the developing world, many of the policies
instigated by these earlier regimes have been swept away to make
room for dramatic alterations in the political, economic, and
social landscape. Sumit Ganguly and Rahul Mukherji, two leading
political scientists of South Asia, chart these developments with
particular reference to social and political mobilization, the rise
of the BJP and its challenge to Nehruvian secularism, and the
changes to foreign policy that, in combination with its meteoric
economic development, have ensured India a significant place on the
world stage. The book is intended for students and anyone
interested in understanding this diverse, energetic, and youthful
democracy.
