Indian Politics and Society since Independence by Bidyut Chakrabarty

This book examines politics and society in India. It explores new areas enmeshed in the complex social, economic and political processes of the country. Linking structural characteristics with the broader sociological context, the book emphasises the strong influence of sociological issues on politics.

"…in the last ten years or so I have not read a book which is comparable to Bidyut Chakrabarty’s in it richness of material, quality, rigour, scope, sweep, lucidity, and readabilityI would even consider this script as a kind of trend-setter." - P. Radhakrishnan, Professor, Sociology, Madras Institute of Development Studies, Chennai, India, and prominent social critic

"[T]he volume remains an appropriate and timely intervention that, with its thematically organised bibliography, will be an asset for all interested in the politics of modern India." - Soumen Mukherjee, University of Heidelberg, Germany; Contemporary South Asia, Vol. 18, No. 4, December 2010
