Transforming India
This is the gripping story of India’s democracy in the early 21st century.
The ninth Lok Sabha election of November 1989 marked the beginning of a new political era and since then the nation’s political landscape has been dramatically transformed by the rise of regional parties and leaders. Sumantra Bose illuminates the roots, significance and challenges of this bottom-up federalization driven by the will of the people and the transition to a de-centered democracy. The principal personalities, events and turning points of the pre 1990 and post 1990 eras come to life in the pages of Transforming India.
The vitality of Indian democracy derives from the enthusiastic participation of hundreds of millions of ordinary Indians, the demos. But its transformation into a polity “of, by and for the people” awaits solutions to great problems of poverty, inequality and alienation.
Gandhi Before India
In 1893, when Mohandas Gandhi set sail for South Africa, he was a twenty three year old brief less lawyer who failed to establish himself in India. In this remarkable Biography, Ramchandra Gotha argues that the two decades that Gandhi spent in South Africa were to be the making of the Mahatma. It was there that he came to understand the nature of imperialism and racism and it was there that he forged the philosophy and techniques that would ultimately destroy the British Empire.
