N1  - Includes bibliographical references; CONTENTS : La 4e de couverture indique : "This volume is  a comparative study of democracy in India and the United  States, using as its basis Alexis de Tocqueville's  landmark study Democracy in America. It frames the  comparison in terms of the distinct trajectories of the  United States and India-the former as moving 'from  equality' at birth towards new forms of inequality over  time, and the latter moving 'towards equality' from an  inegalitarian social order at independence. Examining the  experience of democracy in two of the world's oldest and  largest democracies, the essays discuss the effect of  democratization on key elements of public life such as  citizenship, religion, capitalism, the struggle for  equality, and the status of minorities in both the  countries."
