Ltd, $c 2021. 300 $a xvii, 243 pages ; $c 23 cm 520 $a From the bestselling author of The Accidental Prime Minister, here comes an insightful analysis of politics and elitism that answers many important political questions today. India's Power Elite is a study of the nature of power and elitism in postcolonial India. Its point of departure is the political transition under way in twenty-first-century India, with the marginalization of the Congress Party and the staging of a cultural revolution symbolized by the rise of Hindu majoritarianism. Baru deconstructs the morphology of the Indian power elite-comprising remnants of a feudal gentry, kulaks, a metropolitan business class, the civil services and a cultural elite of opinion-makers. He also examines the role of caste, class and culture in the emergence of a 'New India'. Aimed at the socially engaged reader, this book will interest both students as well as those who wield power. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a A cultural revolution? -- Bombard the headquarters -- Modi's metaphors -- Digression into concepts -- Power and elitism -- Social dominance and political power -- The wielders of power -- Business and the state -- The landed and the feudals -- Shifts in political power -- Bureaucracy and the military -- Policy and public intellectuals -- Opinion makers and celebrities -- Secession of the successful -- A changing balance of power 648 7 $a Since 1947 $2 fast 650 0 $a Elite (Social sciences) $z India. 650 0 $a Social classes $z India. 650 7 $a Elite (Social sciences) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908113 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Social classes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122346 651 0 $a India $x Politics and government $y 1947- 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012759.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2F33FDC56B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
