The Politics of India Since Independence

The country has witnessed the rise of Hindu nationaflilsm and the worst communal massacres since Independence following the destruction of the mosque in Ayodhya. The issue before the country now is whether or not it can find within its own traditions and moral and material resources the leadership to restore a political and communal balance in state and society.
