This book demonstrates how the BJP is not the national monolith it likes to present itself as. The BJP and its present dilemmas and problems are analysed systematically in a regional perspective. Some of the dilemmas of the BJP at the national level are also explored in a critical perspective. This book is intended for students of social science, teachers, journalists and anybody interested in India.  aIndia Politics  and Government  aHANSEN (Thomas Blom) Ed  aJAFFRELOT (Christophe)
