2. Inculcating political process and different mode of analysis offered by political sociology

2,3

3 Familiarizing students with the working of the Indian state, paying attention to the contradictory dynamics of modern state power

1,2,7

Prerequisites:

MODULE 1 : INC as a party 9L

these issues with specific reference to the unrivalled, if highly contentious, record of the Indian National Congress (INC) in shaping the trajectory of the party system in the early decades after independence. The discussion will focus on the unique characteristics of the system of one-party dominance, as contrasted with other forms of single party rule that emerged in different post-colonial societies. It will explore the theory of the consensual model of governance and nature and role of the opposition under the system as developed by Rajni Kothari and other scholars during the 1960s and

1037

1970s. Equally, students will engage with a critique of the one-party model of democracy that has been advanced in years that are more recent.

MODULE 2 : Parties in India 9L

will devote attention to the dawn of state-based parties, exemplified early on by the emergence of the

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in Tamil Nadu. Special emphasis is laid on the Self-Respect

Movement that preceded and significantly shaped the DMK and the AIADMK subsequently, and

continues to animate politics in the state.

MODULE 3 : Other major Parties in India 9L

concentrates on party formations in various regions in the post-independence era. Some of them, such

as the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in Andhra Pradesh, were founded on the promise of realising local

aspirations, which they perceived were largely neglected in the one-party framework. The birth of the

Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) is arguably the result of the extension of the same logic within one

large state. Other state parties drew their impetus from the need to buttress particular ethnic

identities. Prime examples are the Assam gana Parishad (AGP) to represent the Assamese, the

Siromani Akali Dal in Punjab to espouse the Sikh cause and the Shiv Sena in Maharashtra to promote

Marathi interests.

MODULE 4 : Caste based Parties 9L

shifts focus to various parties rooted in the assertion of caste-based identities, such as the Samajwadi

Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), principally in Uttar Pradesh. The combined effect of all these

different parties leading to a reconfiguration of the political landscape both at the national and state

level, thus heralding the period of coalition governments will be addressed.

MODULE 5 : BJP vs INC 9L

Examines the aggressive nationalism embodied by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and its relative

success to present an alternative to the centrist stance of the Congress. The introduction of a political

idiom that draws on the appeal to the majority religion and the potential of a return to single party

majority would be addressed.
