Riassunto

This book examines the relationship between state, society and democracy in India over the last decade by exploring how the Indian state has fared vis-a-vis its three major goals in independent India: welfare, secularism and development. In exploring some aspects of the discursive terrain of Indian politics, this book provides a narrative which bridges the gap between political theory and empirical political analysis.

Recensione

The book succeeds in maintaining clarity and coherence as well as demonstrating the validity and utility of her [Jayal] original approach. (Democratization )

The rich empirical analysis of Dr Jayal effectively demonstrates how the institutions of the state in India continues to muddle through their domestic renewal ... With its serendipity and poetic vision, this elegant study points the way to the theoretical hurdles that lie ahead. (Contemporary South Asia )
