The ninth LokSabha election of November 1989 marked the beginning of a new political era, and since then the nation's political landscape has been dramatically transformed by the rise of regional parties and leaders. Sumantra Bose illuminates the roots, significance and challenges of this bottom-up federalization driven by the will of the people and the transition to a de-centered democracy. The principal personalities, events, and turning points of the pre-1990 and post-1990 eras come to life in the pages of Transforming India.Transforming India: Challenges to the World's Largest Democracy combines lucid writing with incisive analysis, and masterly command of detail with unwavering attention to the big picture. Bose finds the story of Indian democracy profoundly inspiring, but never loses sight of its flaws and warts, challenges and contradictions
