  Addresses the paradox of political mobilization and the failings of governance in India, with reference to the conflict between secularism and Hindu nationalism, authoritarianism and democracy. This book shows how, in the wake of the Emergency, the BJP and the RSS gained popularity amid the on-going decline and fragmentation of the Congress.
