Description: India is passing through anxious times. The current policy of economic liberalisation, notwithstanding its obvious advantages, has the potential to unleash social tensions; while the recent challenges to secularism have given rise to grave political problems. These developments underscore the need for a critical look at the constitutive principles and the current predicament of Indian polity and society. This volume of original essays addresses these and related issues.
