"This book on India is part of a multi-country study examining how ethnic diversity is represented in public institutions. It provides a broad-brush account of cultural diversity in India; the contentions over identity; the institutions devised to manage and negotiate diversity; and the patterns of representation in public institutions. Presenting new data on India's Parliament and Cabinet since 1991, this book provides a comprehensive account of representation along several axes simultaneously - caste, tribe and religion."--BOOK JACKET.
