Contemporary post- Colonial Indian history continues to be haunted by the political economy of the colonial era. The capitalist expansion of the economy and consensus on the fundamentals of the political issues are the hallmarks of this trend. This is clearly manifested in the policies and action of different organs of the state and in programmes and behaviour of different political parties. The social movements and protests, on the other hand, have not fully succeeded in the realization of the humanistic ideals of the Constitution. They have, nonetheless, democratized the political and social structure significantly which is also accentuated by the recent spurts in the globalized market. The papers contributed by experts to this book reveal such developments. This volume is the most updated contribution on the nature of the economy, Party system, Federalism, legislature, executive, judiciary, social movements, and on different public policies and praxis of the political system.
