This third edition of Politics in India provides a timely counter¿narrative to pessimistic prognoses about the future of Indian democracy. It focuses on the resilience of India's democratic political system and its strategic reorientation in response to electoral mandates emerging from the country's vigorously competitive elections.
In a comprehensive analysis of the country's democratic processes, Mitra brings together political theory and historical perspective in order to provide a comparative analysis and interpretation of issues that have occupied the Indian state since Independence from British colonial rule in 1947. Based on the rationality of the Indian voter and the strategic acumen of the political leaders, this is the first comprehensive explanation of how India has achieved a seamless transition from colonial rule to a robust and resilient democracy. Mitra explains how India has sought to balance development with social justice, consent with force, and pursue strategic autonomy in the global arena. As a result, the book demonstrates that, despite occasional breakdown of orderly rule, the political process consistently restores dynamic equilibrium of the system. The chapters, cross¿referenced, can be read both as stand¿alone essays on specific themes, as well as parts of a single narrative.
Supplemented with tables, boxes, illustrations, and comprehensive notes on further reading, the new edition will continue to be an essential reading for students and researchers in Indian and South Asian studies, introduction to political science and world politics, development studies, sociology, comparative politics, and political theory. General readers interested in how the world's most populous democracy functions on a day¿töday basis may find the volume a useful introduction to Indian politics.
