Indian Politics & Policy (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

We are delighted to publish the second issue of Indian Politics & Policy (IP&P) in 2025. This issue comes with research papers on topics ranging from challenges facing India's apex court, the protection of minority rights, and emerging demographic challenges. In addition to the research papers, the volume reflects on the state of policing in India. It remembers the only authoritarian interlude in India's history in its 50th year. What lessons one can draw from that episode during an era of severe democratic recession? The conflict in the Northeast Indian state of Manipur is reviewed from a historical and Manipuri perspective to reflect on what ails state-consolidation in India. We have added a section on book reviews in this issue.
