Unlike other studies on Indian politics which focus on the national level, this Handbook maps the changes in the functioning of India's federal democratic politics since independence. It deals with areas such as democratization, regions and regionalism, political parties and electoral politics, and economic reform. The chapters provide a detailed understanding of some of the significant developments and challenges faced by Indian politics today.
