The Politics of India since Independence provides a concise but comprehensive analytical study of the major political, cultural, and economic changes and crises in India during the past forty-five years. The organizing focus is on the consequences of the centralizing drives and tendencies of the national leadership of the country to create a strong state, a unified nation, and a dynamic economy, all of which have been placed in serious doubt in recent years.

Impressive in Scope and Merit

Paul Brass has produced an excellent academic text that is ideal for use in upper level college courses. "The Politics of India since Independence" will acquaint the reader with the parliamentary style government of India. It sketches in the challenges and accomplishment of a few of its major leaders such as Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi. Rajiv Gandhi, and V.P. Singh (the second edition leaves off in the early 90s; one shortcoming), as well as some of its major issues: linguistic and Hindu-Muslim tension, caste conflict, and the agrarian problem. Readers will find a wealth of information contained herein, and teachers will find it an invaluable aid in the classroom. The text does not go into much detail on India-Pakistan relations, and might comment more on untouchability, but should be regarded as a highly praiseworthy achievement for its scope and detail. Admittedly the text can be dry and not the most readable, but it has great merits as an academic work.

it would be nice if amazon would have posted the 2008 3rd edition information; all this info is photocopied from the 1994 2nd edition.

This is just a review, that too not very comprehensive - NO new insights - Oxford companion to Politics in India is a far more scholarly and detailed work
