The Tiger Triumphant: The Mobilization and Alignment of the Indian Electorate
The literature on Indian electoral behaviour portrays parliamentary elections since independence as a series of critical, realigning and restoring contests in which voters are repelled by and attracted to the Congress party in great waves.

One observer sees the civil service as occupying an increasingly strategic role in Canadian politics, a condition thatreflects in part the expa…
