This book studies Indian electoral politics, examining the polls that radically altered the country′s political landscape and prospects.
This empirically rich volume presents a holistic picture of the electoral process in Indian states and the return of the BJP to power. Drawing on the 2019 elections, it presents ground-level data to understand various aspects of elections: the nature of campaigning, caste, class and identity politics, electoral issues, poll strategies of different parties in the fray, electoral issues, electoral verdicts, the contestants, the leadership factor, the formation of government, among other empirical details. The essays underline the determinants of electoral behaviour by looking into the correlation between the background variables of voters and their voting choices. The essays also compare and contrast the 2019 election verdicts from the earlier elections held in the state under study. A long view of Indian state politics, this book will be essential reference for scholars and researchers of politics, especially political processes, and South Asian studies.
Revision of papers originally presented at a conference held at India International Centre in Nov. 1997.
This study presents 13 articles interrogating themes likely to impinge on India’s 15th general elections in 2009. These were written following intense discussion between the contributors and use available data as well as original data and analysis. The significance of the analyses goes beyond how much these questions find place in the campaign, or how much they would impact the electoral results. These have and would continue to be essential themes in Indian politics for some time. They would influence the country’s politics, its leaders, parties and institutions and would be interrogated in political, policy and social science circles in the foreseeable future. They would in turn be impacted, redefined and perhaps transformed by political dynamics and social pressure. The first attempt of its kind to analyse the impact of certain emerging trends in politics on upcoming elections anywhere in the world, this book will be a useful addition to election studies and policy making in general.
"In the modern period of human history, which is the true Common Era, democracy as a concept has attained not just acceptability but unprecedented sanctity by the time the 21st century came into being. However, the concept itself is not perfect even though people believe the construct of one-person- one-vote makes democracy truly representative. This book demonstrates to the contrary that as far as representing every person in society is concerned, democracy as we know it now is incapable of doing this. It is at best a majoritarian system where a winning candidate represents not just those who voted for that person but also those who voted against. This is a serious flaw that needs rectification. Otherwise a number of people in society go unrepresented or worse still represented by one whom they did not believe to be capable of being their representative. This book not only looks into how such a system has evolved over time and what are the difficulties that it creates. That means that not only does the book look into the positives but also the negatives that democracy in the present contains. It also goes on to prescribe changes and enhancements that can be made to the existing concept of democracy to make it better and more representative than it is today. In doing so it also puts the idea of education at the centre of things and demonstrates how a good education system can be used for the enhancement of representation in a democracy. So this book is as much a treatise about education as it is about democracy and politics and the shape they need to take in the 21st century."--Back cover.
This book presents numerous discussions of specific aspects of democratic politics, showing how ‘democracy’ can be projected as a model of deliberate imperfection – a model that tolerates various loose ends in the system – and how democracy recognizes a multiplicity of possible courses open to the system at any point in time. Against this backdrop, the book carefully analyzes the lifetime work of D.L. Sheth, which, seen as a whole, offers us with a theory of Indian politics. The selection of fifteen essays has been clustered into five sections that signify the major domains of democratic politics: State, Nation, Democracy; Parapolitics of Democracy; Social Power and Democracy; Representation in Liberal Democracy; and Emerging Challenges of Democracy. These essays give a sense of the transformations and struggles that are underway in India, brought about by the dynamics of democratic politics. Each of the fifteen chapters focuses on one aspect, providing a unique analysis of the deepening of democracy in India.
