Pluralism and Equality: Values in Indian Society and Politics

by Imtiaz Ahmad (Editor), Partha S Ghosh (Editor), Helmut Reifeld (Editor)

With the end of the Cold War, interest in the core-values of state, pluralism, secularism and equality have intensified. This important volume examines these principal values in the differing historical and socio-cultural contexts of Europe and India, emphasising their fundamental role in democratic governance, and highlighting the wide variations in both their meaning and content in different cultures.
