520			_aA pioneering work on the Indian political system-Democratic Politics in India (2/e) comes at a time when conceptual and operational changes of major dimensions are taking place in the polity. This work has been done with great thoroughness moving with ease from the pure idea to the minute personal details. The study centres round the reality of power which has been viewed as an analytical concept than as an evaluative one. Thus it is with considerable detachment and impartiality that the processes that distinguish our epoch have been analysed. The author has, with quite and meticulous scholarship, presented the whole power spectrum, the holders, the beneficiaries, the purposes and the methods of power. In sum, the book is concerned with four questions: What restrains the most powerful and the potentially powerful from achieving total power maximisation and establishing the centralised authorit Who or which units are the most powerful? What rewards and objectives, do they seek and to what extent are they successful and finally what implications? Does this success have for the rest of the populace? Thus Democratic Politics in India will contribute considerably to an understanding of the dynamics of Indian democracy.
