<p class="ABOUTBOOKAI"><span>India is now governed by a strong Modi-led majority party. A peaceful transference of power in terms of parties and structure as a consequence of India&rsquo;s 16th national election highlights a notable degree of political maturity. The replacement of the Congress-led coalition after 10 years with a Bharatiya Janata Party clear majority is one obvious result of what can be considered a historic election. As a consequence of the 2014 elections, the emergence of a strong leader and a strong party coupled with continuing regionalism may provide a version of the state-nation system. It remains to be seen to what extent the new political structure coupled with India&rsquo;s diversity will shape society, politics and governance during the next five years. </span> <p class="ABOUTBOOKAI"><span>Rich in empirical and quantitative data, this volume, along with the four previous volumes, comprise the best set of national- and state-level studies for understanding India&rsquo;s politics in depth.</span> &nbsp;
