The book argues that the early 1980s were a period of uncompromising change, particularly in three key areas: the liberalisation of the economy; the emergence of new forms of political mobilisation; and the increasingly regionalised polity, with the states becoming crucial actors in India's political system UR - https://go.openathens.net/redirector/lords.parliament.uk?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190233068.001.0001 ER -
