Parties and Political Change in South Asia
Parties and political change in South Asia
Over the past seven decades and more political parties have become an essential feature of the political landscape of the South Asian subcontinent, serving both as a conduit and product of the tumultuous change the region has experienced. Yet they have not been the focus of sustained scholarly attention. This collection focuses on different aspects of how major parties have been agents of – and subject to – change in three South Asian states (Ind…
Fifty years of Commonwealth & Comparative Politics
Nationalism, religion and community
This article considers how the existence of an ancient community, the Jews of Cochin on India’s Malabar coast, was transformed by the force of two powerful twentieth-century nationalisms – Indian nationalism and Zionism. It does so through telling the story of a remarkable individual, A. B. Salem, a lawyer, politician, Jewish religious reformer, and Indian nationalist, who was instrumental in promoting the Zionist cause and facilitating the mass …
Realigning India
At the end of the Cold War India confronted unprecedented challenges and opportunities in the midst of a new era of globalization. This paper argues that, despite the eagerness of the Hindu nationalist BJP to gain recognition for India as a major power, Indian foreign policy remains primarily responsive and characterized by relative caution. The paper begins by considering the political and economic context within which foreign policy is made and…
Creating a secular state in a religious country’
It is 50 years since the Constitution of the Republic of India came into force. It has stood the test of time better than most of its counterparts in the post‐colonial world. One reason for its durability has been its deliberate (and necessary) ambiguity in dealing with potentially explosive issues of religious identity. The interpretation of secularism to suit Indian conditions was an important aspect of this approach. The article examines the d…
Unity in diversity'? Coalition politics in India (with special reference to Kerala)
India is the biggest of the very few post‐colonial (and non‐Western) states to have sustained a competitive multi‐party democratic system of government. But as India completed half a century of independence, it was also beginning a new chapter in its democratic development. The steady decline of the Congress Party appeared to presage a fresh phase in which the emerging patterns of political diversity and competition seemed to make coalition gover…
Hindu nationalism and regional political culture in India
Hindu nationalism represents an ambitious attempt to create a subcontinental national identity based upon what is actually a highly pluralistic religious tradition. While Hindu nationalists have made striking political gains in parts of India, this article analyses the relative lack of success of their efforts in the state of Kerala. It argues that it is their circumscribed vision of Indian culture and society that inhibits the votaries of Hindu …

Communities at the Polls
Modern Kerala presents us with a paradox: the state, best known to the outside world for its association with communism, is also where communalism has, arguably, found its most complex political expression. This raises tantalizing questions about the part considerations of class and community have played in the evolution of state politics. The aim of this paper is shed light on a little explored aspect of the background to the Kerala conundrum-th…
