| Sommario/riassunto: | "This study explores the nature and circumstances of India's social unrest in the 1980s. The author provides an analysis of the widespread corruption among politicians and in most strata of the government machinery, the blatant discrepancy between legislation ostensibly designed to protect minorities and their actual treatments by higher castes, the administration and the jurisdiction at the time."--Bloomsbury Publishing. |
