State and the People: Political History of Government in India (With Special Reference to Bihar)
Roll over image to zoom in
Product Description
This is a study of India's system of governance in terms of its accord with the people. The author has concluded that the post-independence adininistration, in deep political sense, is the same as was fashioned by the British for colonial purposes.
Departing from conventional
historiography, the author provides insights into the various stages of administrative development since 1793. By 1947, the year of independence, the Indian people found themselves held firmly within the surrounding arms of a vast bureaucracy. India's leadership chose not only to retain the set-up but went on to aggravate it further. The system is alien to Indian tradition, and works adversely against the emergence of a democratic polity. On the other hand, there has been enough evidence of the Indian people's capacity for self- realisation and resistance, as in the continual tribal movements in eastern India since 1778, the revolt of 1857, and the Quit India Movement of 1942.
