Overview of An Indian Political Life: Charan Singh and Congress Politics, 1967 to 1987 - Vol.3 (The Politics of Northern India) Book

Charan Singh and Congress Politics, 1967 to 1987, the third and final volume in the trilogy of The Politics of Northern India, begins with the dramatic political event of the fall of the Congress in the most critical state of UP and the formation of the first non-Congress government. This event was of the utmost concern to Indira Gandhi, for she could not rule the country without a firm political base in the most populous state of the country. Insofar as Charan Singh was concerned, it marked the beginning of his rise to power in the state and the beginning also of the dramatic and complicated struggle between him and Indira Gandhi.The current volume, like the previous volumes, is based upon the author's access to all the critical documents in Charan Singh's political life, an access that was provided to him by Charan Singh personally and which he has used specifically for this work on his political life.Table of Contents:Preface and Series NoteChronology of Principal Events in the Life of Charan SinghI: Last Days In Lucknow, 1967-1975The fall of the Congress and Formation of the first Non-Congress GovernmentAlignments and RealignmentsMisalliances: Charan Singh and Indira Gandhi Nationalization of the UP Sugar IndustryIndira Gandhi, Kamalapati Tripathi, Charan Singh and New Congress PoliticsLand CeilingsHiatusII: Emergency And Its TerminationDeclaration of the Emergency and Its JustificationThe Gradual Restoration of Normality and Termination of the EmergencyThe Fall and Rise of Indira GandhiArrest And Release DramaIII: Ambitions Fulfilled And Thwarted, 1979- 87Split Between Morarji Desai And Charan SinghDefeat, Outrage and DivisionCharan Singh s LegacyAppendix A: Interview with Chaudhuri Charan Singh at the Suraj Khand Inspection House, Outside of Delhi, March 24, 1978 (Recall From Memory)APPENDIX B: Remarks of Narain Dutt Tiwari, Minister Of Finance, UP, Concerning Charan Singh.
