Venue: Conference Room – I
About the book : Ideology and Organization in Indian politics examines the immense changes that have occurred in Indian politics over the past decade and its impact on the Indian National Congress. The impact is most apparent in the changing fortunes of the Congress party, which suffered two major defeats in 2014 and 2019 elections, bringing the party’s crisis to the front and centre of public debate. This book seeks to understand the reasons for these enormous changes by looking first at the underlying conditions that led to the decline of the Congress and second the challenges – both external and internal-confronting the Congress and, while doing so, estimating its impact on Indian politics and on the Congress.
