Against this backdrop, the book carefully analyzes the lifetime work of D.L. Sheth, which, seen as a whole, offers us with a theory of Indian politics. The selection of fifteen essays has been clustered into five sections that signify the major domains of democratic politics: State, Nation, Democracy; Parapolitics of Democracy; Social Power and Democracy; Representation in Liberal Democracy; and Emerging Challenges of Democracy. These essays give a sense of the transformations and struggles that are underway in India, brought about by the dynamics of democratic politics. Each of the fifteen chapters focuses on one aspect, providing a unique analysis of the deepening of democracy in India. 000825235 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000825235 650_0 $$aDemocracy. 000825235 650_0 $$aDemocracy$$zIndia. 000825235 651_0 $$aIndia$$xPolitics and government. 000825235 7001_ $$adeSouza, Peter Ronald,$$d1956-$$eeditor,$$ewriter of introduction. 000825235 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aSheth, D.L.$$tAt home with democracy.$$dSingapore : Palgrave Macmillan, 2017$$z9811064113$$w(OCoLC)996420554 000825235 852__ $$bebk 000825235 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-10-6412-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000825235 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:825235$$pGLOBAL_SET 000825235 980__ $$aEBOOK 000825235 980__ $$aBIB 000825235 982__ $$aEbook 000825235 983__ $$aOnline 000825235 994__ $$a92$$bISE
