The essays in the three-volume series, Explaining Indian Democracy: A Fifty-Year Perspective, 1956-2006, span over five decades of the Rudolphs’ scholarship on politics in India. This work brings out the distinctiveness of Indian democratic experience through a contextual political analysis.
The Realm of the Public Sphere, the last of the three volumes, examines varieties of identity politics—caste, region, and student; interprets two lives, Mahatma Gandhi and the diarist Amar Singh; analyses the formation and consequences of US policy for South Asian states; and shows how the Rudolphs interpreted Indian politics, events, and personalities in American journals of opinion.
