520 _aThis book challenges historiography that presents the Emergency of 1975-77 as an anomalous period in India’s recent history, instead showing how it grew out of existing political traditions, the legacies of which can still be felt in the present. This valuable analysis not only shows how Indian socio-economic structures have moulded its politics, but also suggests a way to understand the wider challenges facing contemporary politics in many parts of the world.
