Abstract
Several questions come to mind when we think of the state of teaching Indian politics at a time when we celebrate 75 years of independence. How much progress did we make in advancing knowledge of India’s political reality, an objective of the Indian political scientists during British rule? How independent intellectually are Indian political scientists, as a collective, from the West in theorizing India’s democratic politics? Is there domination of overseas concepts and analysis in our understanding of Indian politics? How do we bring together, integrate and synthesize the theories of Indian politics that are produced abroad and those that are developed within India? I do not claim to have satisfactory answers to these questions. But I believe that they claim our attention.
期刊介绍：
SIP will publish research writings that seek to explain different aspects of Indian politics. The Journal adopts a multi-method approach and will publish articles based on primary data in the qualitative and quantitative traditions, archival research, interpretation of texts and documents, and secondary data. The Journal will cover a wide variety of sub-fields in politics, such as political ideas and thought in India, political institutions and processes, Indian democracy and politics in a comparative perspective particularly with reference to the global South and South Asia, India in world affairs, and public policies. While such a scope will make it accessible to a large number of readers, keeping India at the centre of the focus will make it target-specific.
