Summary: Since the Cabinet is the most significant institution of parliamentary democracy, its composition, its leadership, espe cially the Prime Minister's growing clout in the system has evoked intense political and academic debate in all democracies. The spirit of the Cabinet system was zealously guarded by the Indian leaders during the Interim Government in 1946 and it was selected as the most appropriate system for the plural Indian society following an intense debate in the Constituent Assembly in 1950. The book examines how the Cabinet system has worked in India between 1946 and 1990 and how it has per formed its designated functions. Also how it has adapted to the vociferous, at times volatile, politics of India and how the institutions of the Indian Cabinet functioned over the years. The book has a special focus on the office of the Prime Minister and how it has changed over the years with incumbents of different temperament and from different backgrounds. This exhaustive study of the Indian Cabinet is designed not only for scholars researching on Indian politics, but also for students of Indian government and politics.
