Majoritarian Politics Is Here To Stay: Ideology And Identity In Indian Politics

In the latest episode of Wide Angle, senior journalist Maya Mirchandani spoke to Rahul Verma, Political Scientist for Centre for Policy Research about his new book "Ideology & Identity", co-authored by Prateek Chhibar.
The book dives into the historical themes that have influenced Indian Political landscape since pre-independence, partition and agendas which have crept in today's context.
The driving force of the book is the argument by the authors who say that while ideology is not applicable to many multiethnic countries, the most important ideological debate in India focuses on statism - the regulating powers of the state - and recognition - whether and how the state should accommodate minorities and protect their rights.
Commonly described as chaotic, polarising and corrupt, the Indian Politics use media, religious practices and education disseminate the competing ideas. Chhibar and Verma using survey data, election studies and assembly debates show how these frameworks​ of Indian Polity and Democracy lie at the centre of all ideological debates in India.

Majoritarian Politics are Here to stay because only Majoritarian politics can comabt the minority appeasement politics. Kudos to BJP for being very Pragmatic.

It has Dawned now , a clear LIGHT Emerged that Majoritarianism of today's INDIA is melting and is going into Oblivion for Good. Enough of exploitation from which slumber , the effected Societies have woken up and would start to be strongly assertive going forward .

@@vaibhavgupta6776 That's why we need BJP. It's shameful what happened in motinagar. This how they will treat Hindu women after attaining a substantial number. They keep Muslim women at home but won't mind harassing or passing lewd comments at Hindu girls. If someone protests against it. They will kill him.

Our Democracy will have to reinvent itself,sooner than later. The Westminster system has not served us well. This first-past-the-post system is not suited to our situation.

@KEJRIWAL ANDHBHAKT DHRUV RATHEE Well! Well! Your hatred for liberalism seems visceral.

[@dkumar7810]

@KEJRIWAL ANDHBHAKT DHRUV RATHEE but the original observation has nothing to do with " liberals ' ; it was about Westminster type of democracy. There are many democracies in the world who follow a different system .

[@dkumar7810]

@KEJRIWAL ANDHBHAKT DHRUV RATHEE So,at the end of the day. for you it is all about Modi ; not even BJP !

[@dkumar7810]

@KEJRIWAL ANDHBHAKT DHRUV RATHEE Really ? I hope the irony is not lost on you viz. you are as intolerant , and worse still ' judgemental' as those alleged ' liberals ' you condem so strongly. You impute motives where none exist .
