About the Book
This textbook has been designed to suit the requirements of the paper titled ‘Political Process in India’. This paper is being offered in undergraduate honours courses of political science under the CBCS curriculum followed across all universities in India. This volume familiarises students with the working of the Indian state. In doing so, it discusses the functioning of important institutions such as the Election Commission, and how they have transformed over the years. The book will help students understand the political processes of independent India, and the various challenges thrown at it by communalism and the politics of secession, to name a few. It also charts the changing nature of the Indian state—from a developmental to a coercive state.
