The Media and Cultural Politics
This chapter presents cultural politics and a category that refers to the struggle for control of the means of cultural production and conflict over meaning. Two types of contest are involved. The first, the Lasswellian question about the distribution of wealth, power and status, can be framed by the positivist language of political science. The second, the question about identity and worth, is more suitably discussed in the language of post-mode…
Democratic Dynasties
Dynastic politics, usually presumed to be the antithesis of democracy, is a routine aspect of politics in many modern democracies. This book introduces a new theoretical perspective on dynasticism in democracies, using original data on twenty-first-century Indian parliaments. It argues that the roots of dynastic politics lie at least in part in modern democratic institutions - states and parties - which give political families a leg-up in the ele…

Caste Associations to Identity Politics
The Political Role of India's Caste Associations
IT IS ONE OF THE PARADOXES of Indian politics that India's ancien regime, surely one of the oldest and most deeply rooted in the world, produced no reaction. In three-fifths of India the nationalist middle classes which emerged out of the British colonial experience aimed not only at independence but also at the transformation of Indian society. The Rebellion of i857 is the only historical event in which the old order attempted to preserve itself…
Economics' Fall from Grace
Not long ago, many political scientists suffered from economics envy. Some still do. They view economics as the queen of the social sciences, claiming that it is “scientific,” like physics. Physicists and other natural scientists spend most of their time trying to explain phenomena, but non-behavioral micro-economists spend most of their time on mathematical proofs and econometric tests of a priori theories based on intuitive plausibility or prin…
The Many Seats at the Round Table of Knowledge
The many years Susanne Rudolph and I spent editing and interpreting Amar Singh's diary for our book, Reversing the Gaze , led us to reflect on the multiplicity of forms of knowledge, starting with Amar Singh's first-person, subjective knowledge and extending to the situational truths of Gandhi's satyagrahas
Federalism as State Formation in India
In the master narrative of the formation of the modern state, its unified, monopoly sovereignty is presented as universal, the natural culmination of a teleological process. We challenge the naturalness and universality of that claim by historicizing the sovereignty concept. We do so by examining the history of state formation in late medieval and early modern Europe. When, why and how were sovereignty concepts constructed and contested are quest…
Writing India
Le café et l'ashram
Les concepts d’espace public et de société civile sont profondément enracinés dans le monde anglo-américain. Il est néanmoins possible de les transposer dans le contexte indien, où l’ashram gandhien peut en être considéré comme une variante locale. Bien sûr, la dimension religieuse de l’ashram est contraire au rationalisme des Lumières, mais la vertu civique, la recherche du bien commun et d’une société juste mis en avant par Gandhi dans ses ashr…
Engaging Subjective Knowledge
What should count as knowledge in political science? We have tried here to show that subjectivity is valid and useful, that firstperson accounts of experience—‘telling what I know,” narratives of and by the self, partial and contingent truths, and self-asother ethnography—contribute to knowledge. The move to subjective knowledge does not require the abandonment of objectivity. Self-consciousness and reflexivity simply make it possible to render t…
South Asia Faces the Future
Conventional wisdom has it that India is the world's largest democracy, but few have recognized that it is so against the odds. The Indian experience runs against the widely held view that rich societies are much more likely to be democratic than poor ones, and that societies with large minority populations are prone to ethnic cleansing and civil war. Democracy in India, a poor and notoriously diverse country, has succeeded for more than half the…

Self as Other
Amar Singh at twenty began writing on a daily basis. His diary extends over 44 years, from 1898 to 1942. Its last entry is dated 1 November 1942. He died that night. These days, the 89 quarto-size bound volumes averaging 800 manuscript pages can be found at Kanota Fort, ten miles east of Jaipur off the Agra road, where Mohan Singh, his nephew and heir, keeps them in glass-fronted Victorian cabinets in one of the several rooms Amar Singh called hi…

How Can We Get There From Here? Thoughts on the Integration of American and Comparative Politics
The bifurcation of political science into American and comparative politics impoverishes both. The division parochializes them by encapsulating the study of politics within national boundaries. The result is to deprive each of the theoretical contributions generated by the other and to cut them off from the institutional and policy alternatives each has devised. The loss to the study of American politics is probably the more severe because its pr…
Rethinking Secularism
M ZANY FACTORS CONTRIBUTED to Janata's demise just two years after its stunning victory in the 1977 elections. At the ideological level, the principal cause was the party's inability to resolve its orientation toward the meaning and practice of secularism and its perceived opposite, communalism. At the level of intra-party policy, the ideological struggle raised the question of whether or, perhaps, how to allow membership. Should party members be…
Establishing a Niche for Cultural Policy
We are pleased to present, in this issue and the next, a group of papers on the general topic of Cultural Policy in India. Four of the papers-by Lloyd I. Rudolph and Susanne Hoeber Rudolph, Robert S. Anderson, Franklin A. Presler, and Joan L. Erdman-were originally delivered at the Thirty-Third Annual Meeting of the Association for Asian Studies, Toronto, Canada, March 1981, and have been revised for publication. The paper by Norman Cutler has be…

Authority and Power in Bureaucratic and Patrimonial Administration
Weber's understanding of bureaucracy, despite substantial qualification and revision, remains the dominant paradigm for the study of administration and formal organizations. We continue the process of revision by accepting his ideal-typical concepts of bureaucratic and patrimonial administration, but subject them to theoretical and historical reinterpretation and application. Our reading of historical change as it relates to bureaucracy leads us …

The Modernity of Tradition
Marx's century-old socio-political analysis of peasant nations and of India's traditional village and caste society, because it captures so much of contemporary social and political analysis, provides a convenient framework for critical discussion and evaluation of the relationship between traditional society and modern politics in India. Peasant nations such as mid-nineteenth century France, Marx observed in the The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis …

Barristers and Brahmans in India
You have given India,' Secretary of State Sir Samuel Hoare once told his officers, 'justice such as the East has never known before.' For most Englishmen, having established therule of law' on the Indian subcontinent was probably the proudest achievement of the British raj. They believed that they had substituted legal security for disorder, predictability for uncertainty, and impartiality for whim and nepotism
Urban Life and Populist Radicalism
The Indian Municipal Elections of 1959 raised in compelling form the question of the relationship between urban life and political radicalism; radical parties of both the left and the right gained ground in Bombay, Delhi, and Madras. In Calcutta, radicalism already had a long history. The Madras results, when put in the context of the state's political history, raise further questions: is urban life an experience or a location; are city and villa…

The Modernity of Tradition. Political Development in India
Stressing the variations in meaning of modernity and tradition, this work shows how in India traditional structures and norms have been adapted or transformed to serve the needs of a modernizing society. The persistence of traditional features within modernity, it suggests, answers a need of the human condition. Three areas of Indian life are analyzed: social stratification, charismatic leadership, and law. The authors question whether objective …
