Northeast India Development Communalism and Insurgency represents a pioneer effort in understanding the linkage among the phenomena of development communalism and insurgency. Heretofore insurgency has been viewed as pathology of body politic a prime instance of the breakdown of law and order and a challenge to the legitimate centralized political authority. The present book argues against this partisan view and underlines the fact that to treat it as a problem of law and order is to turn a blind eye to the causes which when ignored for long lead to political violence and insurgency. The cause of insurgency lies in the frustrated aspirations of the people with distinct socio cultural identities by tardy development this paves the way for the politicization of traditional socio cultural referents of identity formation this in turn paves the way for intense political agitation which eventually graduates into political violence and insurgency if the smouldering discontent is not pacified. The root of insurgency lies in unsatisfied political demands that are considered by the agitators as legitimate. This is the causal path that Development Communalism and Insurgency traces in the Northeast although the theoretical paradigm developed in this study has universal applicability. While developing this theoretical paradigm the book also focuses on some important aspects of political life and relations in Assam and Meghalaya the two foci of this study and probes into the subjective world of the people in these two states. The combination of these dimensions the theoretical and the pragmatic has made this study a landmark in the study of the linkage among development communalism and insurgency. 214 pp.…

Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. Contents Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. The making of democracy. 3. The advent of democracy in India. 4. The seamless web. 5. Fostering social revolution. 6. Federal experience. 7. Social revolution fundamental rights and the judiciary. 8. Parties and politics in India. 9. Paradox of democracy. 10. What next. Index. The book exposes the organic defects of formal democracy and demonstrates its weakness in satisfying the aspirations of the demos for participation and equality. Effort is made to take the discussion of democratic theory to a higher level where theory and history mingle to provide a better vantage point from which to view the phenomenon of democracy. Also the theoretical perspective projected in Democracy in India Form and Substance presents a critical account of the functioning of democratic institutions in India and shows its vulnerable aspects. The approach adopted in Democracy in India Form and Substance differs sharply from other studies. Most of these treat formal representative democracy as the last chapter in the evolution of the democratic idea since its appearance in Greece. It is considered without questioning as a universally valid model of democracy. Also it is supposed to solve finally and satisfactorily the paradox of freedom versus liberty. But formal democracy is the symbol of the defeat of democracy by democratic ideology. This ideology celebrates only the external form of democracy drowning its substance in the din of vacuous academic discussion by pundits and soothsayers of democracy praising to the skies the characteristics and the merit of formal democracy. The book is penetrating and incisive in its analysis lucid in presentation and broad in its intellectual sweep. 278 pp.…

Dharma society and political order. 11. Overview. Bibliography. Index. What kind of a political order ensures peoples development and welfare best? Obviously, an order that must have a good government based on benign and salubrious principles not only as its constitutive element but also as its operational dimension. It is only such a political order that is capable of regulating and disciplining public life and relations and preventing politicians and bureaucrats from sliding into corruption. The question of good government thus impinges not only on the opportunities people have for proper development and securing their well-being but also on the issue of precluding the possibility of the government turning arbitrary, exploitative and tyrannous. In other words, it is inextricably linked with the kind of political order that aims at maintaining a well-ordered social universe. Without such an order, good government becomes a matter of accident, and can easily fall prey to transient whims and shifting fashions. This book takes this question for a critical discussion and identifies three different genres of political order, viz., liberal, Platonic and Vedic. The Chinese idea of order has been added for further elucidation.Thought-provoking and comprehensive, this book will attract a vast readership, ranging from students of political science to professionals like political scientists, politicians and activists.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. Introduction. 1. Strategies of Transformation. 2. Chemistry of Confrontation. 3. Ambedkar's World. 4. Ambedkar's Ideals Revisited. 5. Gandhi's Ideas about Man and His World. 6. World-Views at WarThe Dalit Movement: Rift in the Legacy. 7. Overview. Bibliography. The book represents a radical departure from the genre of writings that deal with thought and works of M. K. Gandhi and B. R. Ambedkar, either singly or in a comparative framework, in a discursive manner or historically and chronologically. These two extremely important personalities left a deep and indelible imprint on the content and direction of Indian politics. However, these writings rarely delve deeper to identify the factors and forces that made them so central to politics in India at a crucial historical juncture and yet so apart. The merit of the book lies in its exploration and exposition of the deeper factors and forces that entered into the formation of their basic philosophy on life and, emanating from it, their political activities. It traces the basic differences in the worldview, belief structure, and their perspectives on man and his world; it demonstrates how this fundamental difference made for their differential approach to the problem of untouchability, in particular, and other pragmatic aspects of man's existence, in general.
