Summary: THE ARTICLES and papers making up this book, though written on different occasions during the preceding ten years, exhibit a remarkable degree of internal coherence provided by the author's concern with the problems of development faced by a modernizing society like India's. They are as relevant today as when they were first written, because the questions that Mr Shah deals with are basic to the very nature of Indian democracy. Besides the title essay, the book contains essays dealing with the nature of democratic socialism,, the relevance of the Indian tradition to problems of growth, the state of public opinion in India, the nature and scope of general education, the education of party workers, and a code of conduct for political parties. They are all written in a style that is sharp and scholarly without being pedantic or offensive.
