Series Note
The Sage Series on Politics in Indian States aims at developing comprehensive, contemporary political histories of Indian states looking at the past two and a half decades. The series consists of volumes covering important trends in the politics of major states of India. Each volume, devoted to one particular state, situates the politics of that state in the larger socio-historical context and presents a detailed analysis of the significant patterns of competitive politics in the state with a focus on framework of party competition, rise of new social forces, role of leadership and the context of regional political economy. Going beyond state-specificity, each volume also attempts to situate the politics of the state in the larger all-India context.
Besides analysing the state-specific trends in party politics that have led to the rise of many state parties, these volumes also carefully look at the social bases of parties and their electoral fortunes in the backdrop of fluctuations in voter choices during elections of past quarter of a century, making use of the rich data archives of Lokniti.
