This and its companion volume, Neo-liberal Strategies of Governing India, tell the story of governance of Independent India. This volume studies: ideas and issues at the core of governance in post-colonial India; state formation and institutions; the asymmetrical nature of our anti-colonial foundations.

Neo-liberal Strategies of Governing India and its companion volume Ideas and Frameworks of Governing India tell the story of governance in independent India and address the critical question: how is a post-colonial democracy governed? Further, they attempt to understand why the process of governing a post-colonial democracy, particularly in the neo-liberal age, should be studied as the central question within the history of post-colonial democracy. The volumes offer hitherto unexplored analyses of governance ¿ political and ideological aspects along with technological characteristics ¿ in a historical framework.
