Ideology and Organization in Indian Politics examines the immense
changes that have occurred in Indian politics over the past decade
and its impact on the Indian National Congress. The impact is most
apparent in the changing fortunes of the Congress party, which
suffered two major defeats in 2014 and 2019 elections, bringing the
party's crisis to the front and centre of public debate. This book
seeks to understand the reasons for these enormous changes by
looking first at the underlying conditions that led to the decline
of the Congress and, second, the challenges' both external and
internal' confronting the Congress and, while doing so, estimating
its impact on Indian politics and on the Congress. More
specifically, it looks at how important ideological debates
provoked by the rise of majoritarianism, the Gujarat model,
hypernationalism, the secular retreat, and the curbs and
restrictions on the opposition influenced Congress. Exploring
ideological shifts and organizational limits that shaped the
decline of the Congress makes a compelling case for the
significance of the Congress story in understanding the larger
political transformation underway in India. The argument centers on
the Congress party, but comparatively speaking, it has relevance
for the experience of centrist and centre-left parties in other
countries, which too suffered a decline in the context of the
upsurge of populist nationalism and right-wing politics in the past
few years. Analysis of political change in India in the past decade
affords insights into the processes of transformation and
polarization that grounded the Congress party and centrist parties
in other countries as well.
