Dilemma in Politics underlines the major faults and fissures in the academic discourses around the themes emphasising upon the prevalence of -dichotomy- between -what ought to be- and -what is- in the political sphere.
How do political values get marginalized, if not compromised, in the name of ideological conflicts and alliances? This book highlights this -dilemma- across a range of themes which explore the gaps in the practice and the praxis of politics. The chapters in this volume present detailed analytical perspective on issues concerning environment, female empowerment and feminist discourses, identity-based politics and its limitations, among various other key themes. Further, it analyses the concept of rights in the neoliberal democratic context, caste and class politics and its inherent dilemmas, and also illustrates the gaps in the political discourses to discussion on possible alternatives or solutions.
