<br/><br/> Political parties try to reflect the society, in miniature. It is a social group, a system of meaningful and patterned activity within the larger society. It is both a social organism and decision-making system.<br/><br/>The study of regional political parties in India is of topical interest. The country itself is pre-occupied with an on-going debate on Centre-State relations. Unsettled demands, the inter-action of multi-varied groups and their feed back, the emotional importance of caste, region, religion etc., can be broadly focussed as the basis of the genetics behind the regional parties.<br/><br/>In this outstanding book the author studies in detail the trends and features of Regional Politics in Kerala, the reasons for growth of Regional Parties, the Party System and Regional Parties. An analysis and conclusion of the study is also made.<br/><br/>This book will be of great use to teachers, students and scholars of politics, and legislatures, political leaders and political parties.
