Problem trends deepen while the BJP spreads its wings: India Briefing, November 2014

4 December 2014

print version of this article print version

In our India Briefing for November 2014, the India Study Group presents a second snapshot view of developments in the world’s largest democracy. We describe how the problematic trends we identified in our last briefing continue to deepen, with respect to the economy, social violence and the insecurity of people’s livelihoods. We also discuss India’s recent foreign policy initiatives, and the possible violence and instability that may follow changes in the electoral landscape.

Coordinated by the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, the India Study Group is a collaboration of professionals from diverse fields: journalism, law, civil society, and the corporate world. We provide concise briefings based on detailed, on the ground, rooted analysis.

We were formed to explore questions that aren’t usually asked. We hope we can help you get past the cliches and shed light on the new India.

India Briefing - November 2014

This issue of our India Briefing looks at what’s happened in the last month. We find that problems we identified earlier have deepened, while foreign policy seems to feature a slight incoherence and electoral developments may increase the likelihood of social conflict.
