| Summary, etc | This book attempts to explain the paradox of how authoritarian leaders co-exist in a democracy, get elected and ousted for various reasons. The India of 1980's and 1990's witnessed the emergence of most of these nine leaders who have gone on to consolidate their positions in the political arena. Since most of them are regional satraps, people in other regions do not know much about them. This book is perhaps a first attempt to portray these leaders from all over India in one book so that readers get a flavour of other regional leaders. They have also learnt to co-exist in a coalition era. In this updated edition a new chapter 'The Casino of Politics: The Ups and Downs of 2004 Elections' has been added to the book explaining the performance of these political leaders in the 2004 elections, which proved to be landmark for some of them. |
