	Bibliography on Party Politics in India, 1950-62
		Due to the nature of the Indian political system from 1950-1962, scholars have generally studied the National Congress either in terms of its dynamic leaders, i.e., Gandhi and Jawaharal Nehru, or its organizational effectiveness in reconciling diverse political viewpoints and strategies within one institution.
		As is the case with the literature on political parties in all countries, empirical theories are notoriously absent in party literature in India.
		It was not until the middle of the present decade that political researchers began to develop theoretical frameworks applicable to the Indian political system.

	India - Government and Politics
		The period of political domination by the Congress (I) branch of the Indian National Congress came to an end with the party's defeat in the 1989 general elections, and India began a period of intense multiparty political competition.
		The Congress (I) political leadership had lost the mantle of moral integrity inherited from the Indian National Congress's role in the independence movement, and it was widely viewed as corrupt.
		It is likely to further exacerbate political conflict because of the increasing pluralism of the country's party system and the growing diversity of interest-group representation.

		In a way, even the 1974 test may have had a political purpose since it boosted then prime minister Indira Gandhi’s image, which had declined sharply after her widely acclaimed role in the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971.
		Similarly, when she felt her political stock declining again in the early 1980s, she is believed to have decided on conducting a nuclear test in 1983, for which then defence minister R Venkataraman (who later became president) surveyed the testing site in Rajasthan.

		These practices have generated intense moral, ethical, political and legal debates since abortion is not merely a techno-medical issue but "the fulcrum of a much broader ideological struggle in which the very meanings of the family, the state, motherhood and young women's sexuality are contested" (Petchesky R.P,1986 : vii).
		However, abortion is not merely an issue of the political and legal rights of women but of their reproductive rights as well.
		Unfortunately, in India, these factors are not properly recognized and the tendency is to adopt a `conveyer belt' approach to abortion services and research.
