The book places the Congress Party in the broader context of three significant trends in Indian politics during this period: Mandal, Mandir, and Market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe study delves into the relationship between the Congress Party, the developmental state, and market forces. The shift in its developmental strategy from state-led growth to market-driven reforms significantly impacted its dominance and legitimacy in Indian politics. As the market-oriented reforms attacked the developmental state, the Congress faced a crisis, resulting in the de-institutionalization of the party.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, during the second generation reforms under the BJP-led NDA government, the Congress Party began a process of introspection. It re-evaluated its past policies, particularly socialism and social justice, realizing that these principles held the potential to mobilize alienated social groups and re-establish its position in Indian politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eV.
