The foremost responsibility of political parties is to effect progressive social changes, to defend the liberties of the people and to effectively involve them in the activities of government. Processed out of an enormous mass of material, the book deals scientifically with the origin and development of over 200 political parties in India. It provides an original classification of these parties and introduces a new subject-party geography,. and concepts like proversion, paracharisma, imagics, ritual state, group esurientics, hero-dynamics, brutalization, personalization and active and passive coalition. It evolves two schools of thought, namely the electo-centric school and the socic-centric school, in order to determine the issue of political stability in India. It examines the structures of major Indian political parties with suitable diagrammatic C illustrations and throws much light over the area of party finance. Encyclopaedic in scope and entirely new in its approach and design, the book is an outstanding contribution to - political science and political sociology and is intended to serve both academic and non-academic purposes.
