By: Desai, Meghnad.
Publisher: Gurgaon Penguin Random House India 2017Description: xxx, 193p.ISBN: 9780670090136.Subject(s): Politics and government -- Democracy -- IndiaDDC classification: 320.954 Summary: Meghnad Desai reflects on Indian democracy as it completes seventy years of colourful, eventful and energetic parliamentary existence. Pulling no punches, Desai looks at the history and evolution of Indian democratic institutions, pinpointing their achievements, but also their repeated failure to live up to the standards envisaged by the nation's founders. Drawing on his own career as a Labour peer in Britain's House of Lords, Desai has the rare understanding and familiarity with the process of politics, and is able therefore to identify its universal features and zoom in on its uniquely Indian aspects. The Raisina Model is a critical and frequently uncomfortable meditation on India's contemporary political culture.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
