Over the past six decades, India`s competitive political process has brought the country`s diverse population into the fabric of a nation
and a democratic political system. Politics in India analyses this achievement, rare among post-colonial states, in the areas of democracy, governance, economic growth, welfare, citizenship, and poverty reduction.
India`s political discourse is an amalgam of modern institutions and pre-modern practices, beliefs, and symbols within the framework of a modern state. The country`s transition into a resilient, multi-party democracy has been facilitated by multiple factors such as federalism, elections, informal and institutionalized forms of power-sharing, an active and socially engaged judiciary, liberalization of the economy, and a supportive international context during the formative years.
Subrata Mitra mostly uses `rational choice` as a heuristic device to understand the structure and processes of Indian politics since Independence. Updated and revised, this edition analyses Indian politics at the level of the nation, region, and locality towards the formulation of policy.
