Conclusion democracy under contrary pressures. Rethinking Democracy is an insightful and reflective monograph on democracy in general and Indian democracy in particular. In this work Rajni Kothari revisits the core arguments he has laid down in his diverse writings in the past four decades. Kothari reflects interrogates and even contests some of his earlier formulations on democracy state and civil society developing a new paradigm on the basis of his intellectual and activist experience. Kothari makes a powerful critique of prevailing democratic theory and practice in the changing global as well as Indian context and concludes that democracy has failed to achieve its objective of human emancipation. However this disillusionment with democracy does not deter him from searching for an alternative model for a decentralized participatory and emancipatory democracy. 176 pp.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. In this pioneering study of India as a vibrant and politically sustainable polity, Rajni Kothari covers considerable basic ground. Politics in India was first published in 1970 and marks a turning point in the evolution of the author s intellectual contributions. From the theoretical, historical, socio-cultural, and comparative matrices of Indian polity, this book ranges through strategies, concerns, and issues that strengthen and support India s tried and tested political institutions and the agencies that promote the country s national integration. Kothari s superiority as a theorist and teacher is evident in this book. Its detailed analyses and commentary cover existing and emergent paradigms of Indian political life and action. It also deals with the politics of party system and coalitions, social infrastructure and balanced growth options, including India s challenges and the greater role it envisages in subcontinental and international politics. The concluding chapter on Future Perspectives is Kothari s helpful pointer towards this prospect. In this second edition, the introduction by Prakash Sarangi highlights the significance of book as an important landmark and its relevance in contemporary times.…

Caste and political participation in two cities/Donald B. Rosenthal. Index. "The confrontation in India between the age-old caste system and the parliamentary form of government based on universal suffrage vividly illustrates the manner in which old and historical societies get involved in, and provide content to, the modernizing process. Caste in Indian politics is a collection of studies dealing with this theme. Rejecting the prevailing dichotomy between traditional society and modern polity, these studies examine the interaction between the two in given community and territorial settings. An analytical essay by Rajni Kothari provides the framework. Of the nine studies that follow, four are based on detailed investigation of individual caste movements and structures and their induction into the political process. The other five deal with certain macro dimensions of the political involvement of caste. Each of these studies tries to bring out the substantial change that has taken place in the inter-relationship between the antecedent social structure of Indian and democratic politics and underlines the emerging idiom of social-political behaviour. …
