Description: Political Mobilisation and Democracy in India : States of Emergency, Hardcover by Hewitt, Vernon Marston, ISBN 0415423759, ISBN-13 9780415423755, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The Internal Emergency of 1975 was a pivotal point in modern Indian political history, generating support for rising political parties and movements advocating Hindu nationalism. The velocities of these parties and movements were increased substantially by the Emergency, and the political elite used the dynamics to their own advantage. Hewitt (politics, U. of Bristol) carefully analyzes the causes and effects of the Emergency, arguing that the rift between democracy and political mobilization in India is related to the characteristics of the state, the continuation (albeit not sanctioned) of the caste system, and the workings of powerful individuals and styles of rule. He shows the effects on the Indian Congress, which began to angle for increased voting rights, and also the effects on parties in the system, giving readers a strong background on the recent debates about secularism and Hindu nationalism.
