About the Book

Criminalization of Politics has emerged as an alarming social programme in India today. The deadly nexus between criminals and politicians is threatening the very bases of the civil society in this country and naturally causing serious concern at all levels. Unfortunately, the country seems to be groping in the dark about how to stem the rot that has set in. This is not surprising because the phenomenon of criminalization of politics is an extremely complex process, which defies any neat solutions.
