| Abstract: This book tells about the colonial state in South Asia which was fundamentally different from the metropolitan bourgeois state which sired it. The metropolitan state was hegemonic in character, and its claim to dominance was based on a power relation in which persuasion outweighed coercion. Conversely the colonial state was non-hegemonic, and in its structure of dominance coercion was paramount. This book had a nationalist aspect too. This arose from a structural split between the elite and the subaltern domains of politics, and the consequent failure of the Indian bourgeoisie to integrate vast areas of the life and consciousness of the people into an alternative hegemony. |

| Subject: Politics |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is intended to highlight the fact that, inspite of the repeated assertions made by the official spokesmen, in the process of the constitution-making, that they were making a constitution analogous, in all its essential traits, to the British yet the law of the constitution that they put into the statute-book projected one much different from the British. It is of the opinion that there is no gainsaying the fact that there are certain blemishes in the constitution which have to be wiped out but the immediate problem before the nation, which needs to be given top priority, is the criminalization of politics, which are eating into the vital of the parliamentary system. |

| Title: Powers and Prospects: Reflections on Human Nature and the Social Order |
| Author: Noam Chomsky |
| Edition Year: 2008 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Politics |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: Noam Chomsky has been described as the worlds greatest dissident and arguably the most important intellectual alive. For 30 years his views have alerted an increasingly concerned public to the true nature of power. From East Timor to the Middle East, from the nature of democracy to our place in the natural world, from intellectual politics to the politics of language, this book provides a scathing critique of orthodox views and government policy, and outlines other paths that can lead to better understanding and more constructive action. He lifts the veil of distortions that conceals the workings of history and social policy, and reveals how the new world order is little more than a remarketing of the same old disorder. |

| Title: Reflections on Kashmir Politics |
| Author: Gull Mohd. Wani and Nasir A. Naqash |
| Edition Year: 1993 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Politics |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This study purports to investigate and analyze the concept of Kashmiri identity from a purely political perspective. The survey of related literature reveals that the concept of Kashmiri identity has mainly been projected through constitutional and functional perspectives. That approach indulges in narration of events or simply in story writing. The attempt to conceptualization of Kashmiri identity has been a neglected foci of academic investigation. The trust of our argument herein is that politico-constitutional deprivation has plunged Kashmir into the present crisis that we postulate and posit as the phenomena of identity crisis. |

| Author: Rajat Kanta Ray |
| Edition Year: 1984 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Politics |

It suggests that whereas elsewhere in India patriotism could take the form of keeping economic imperialism at a distance from humdrum pickings, in Calcutta it could only be an attempt to abolish imperialism at the highest level. |

| Title: The First Flush of Freedom: Recollections and Reflections |
| Author: H. M. Patel |
| Edition Year: 2005 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Politics |
| Language: English |
| Editedby: Amrita Abraham |
| Abstract: This book is about the Indian Freedom Movement that began with Dadabhoy naoroji, Gandhi, Tagore and Sri Aurobinbo. The men who followed them, Tilak and Nehru, Azad and Patel now occupy their rightful place in history. Very little has been said about a third generation of patriots, men who had lit their torches at the parental flame. It was their mission to carry the torch safely over the stormy waters of transition, the terrible bloodletting of the Partition and the general civic unrest that attends the birth of a great democratic nation. H. M. Patel was one of these forgotten heroes, men who presided with commitment, care and wisdom over the fragile early decades of the infant Republic. Midwifery, as Socrates said, is a humble vocation. It seeks no praise for itself but asks only to serve the greatness that is waiting to be born. |

| Editedby: D. L. Sheth and Ashis Nandy |
| Abstract: This book provides a powerful critique of the limits and contradictions of conventional notions of liberal democracy and examines the problems of democratizing different sectors of life especially systems of knowledge, decision-making structures and policy processes and international and intercultural relations. The volume suggests that the democratization of a policy is an adaptive process intrinsically linked to political and social transformations within a society. Uniquely comparative and challengingly fresh, this volume of original essays by renowned intellectual-activists will gready enrich current debates on the content of liberal democracy while providing insights into some of the trials and tribulations which developing nations face today. It will attract a wide readership, particularly those concerned with politics, democratic theory, world order studies, social movements and cultural studies. |

| Title: Vishnus Crowded Temple: India Since the Great Rebellion |
| Author: Maria Misra |
| Edition Year: 2007 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Politics |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: On the sixtieth anniversary of Independence India is at the centre of international attention. It has shed its image as a poor, tradition-bound backwater to stand poised on the threshold of super-power status. Maria Misra argues that India is different largely because its politics rest upon a peculiar foundation, in which traditional philosophies of hierarchy, difference and privilege coexist to a remarkable degree with modern notions of equality and democracy. This book also dissects the intervening attempts of various polemicists, politicians and prophets to transcend these inherent contradictions. This is an extraordinary story, and Mari Misra tells it with brio, wit and style. She concludes that India is likely to fulfil its ambition to be a leader and win its place among the Great Powers, but it will remain a unique hybrid of history, the product of a curious conjuncture between an ancient culture, colonialism and modernity. |

| Author: Arun Shourie |
| Edition Year: 1997 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Politics |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about Ambedkar and some of the facts which have been erased. There is a factor for which our intellectuals are directly responsible. Discourse today consists of Slogan-cum-Stampede. Some slogan is floated, Garibi Hatao one day. Social Justice, the next. No one goes into the details it. Instead there is a stampede in its wake. In the case of persons like Ambedkar and their deification there is in addition verbal terrorism and increasingly, actual, physical assault, once the slogan has been put out and the stampede with it as the banner has begun, anyone who draws attention to the facts, even to the things which the man himself said and did, things which he flaunted, that person. |
