State Politics in Contemporary IndiaConundrums and Possibilities\nAuthor(s): Yatindra Singh Sisodia, Ashutosh Kumar, Pratip Chattopadhyay\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781041044321, 978-1041044321\nSynopsis\nThis volume examines Indian states as analytical units, culminating in a comprehensive sociopolitical study of the country as a whole. The state-specific essays underline the federal context in which politics in India unfolds at the ground level.\n\nEmploying a federalist and centrist analytical prism, this book aims to add to the existing body of work on state politics, with a particular focus on India in the last decade, which has shown visible shifts in political terms. It delineates the narratives and trends in politics at the state level and explores the range of issues and actors involved in it. It shows the myriad complex, overlapping and multidimensional ways in which politics unfold at the state leve.
