Description

Understand the shifting landscape of Indian politics with Minority Governments in India: The Puzzle of Elusive Majorities. Part of the Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series, this book examines how the Indian national party system has changed since the 1989 parliamentary elections. While India historically favored single-party majority governments, the political environment has transformed significantly. This text explores the decline of the Congress Party's dominant status and the rise of a more fragmented political arena. It analyzes the increasing number of parties contesting elections, winning parliamentary seats, and securing cabinet portfolios. By looking at the rise of minority governments and the resulting cabinet instability, this book provides a detailed look at the modern realities of parliamentary politics in India. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the evolution of South Asian political structures and the challenges of maintaining stable governance in a multi-party system.
