India is the most populous democracy in the world.For most of the years since independence,

the federal government has been led by the indian an national congress (INC) Politics in the states have been dominated by several national parties including the INC, the bhaitaya janta party (BJP), the commonist party of india (marxist) (CPI(M)) and various regional parties. From 1950 to 1990, barring two brief periods, the INC enjoyed a parliamentary majority. The INC was out of power between 1977 and 1980, when the janta party won the election owing to public discontent with the state of emergency declared by the then Prime Minister indra gandi. In 1989, a janata dal -led national front coalition in alliance with the left front coalition won the elections but managed to stay in power for only two years. As the 1991 elections gave no political party a majority, the INC formed a minority government under Prime Minister p v narsimha rao and was able to complete its five-year term.^{the years 1996–1998 were a period of turmoil in the federal government with several short-lived alliances holding sway. The BJP formed a government briefly in 1996, followed by the united front coalition that excluded both the BJP and the INC. In 1998, the BJP formed the national democratic alliance (NDA) with several other parties and became the first non-Congress government to complete a full five-year term. In the 2004 indian elections , the INC won the largest number of Lok Sabha seats and formed a government with a coalition called the united progressive alliance (UPA), supported by various Left-leaning parties and members opposed to the BJP. The UPA again came into power in the 2009 general election ; however, the representation of the Left leaning parties within the coalition has significantly reduced.manmohan singh became the first prime minister since jawarlal nehru in1962 to be re-elected after completing a full five-year term,}

'The Chinese have spread darkness everywhere.

On the 20th October 1962 when the Chinese army invaded India, the Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was shocked. Nehru believed in friendship with China and had signed the Panchsheel treaty of peaceful coexistence with China in 1954. The popular slogan then was 'Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai.' Nehru saw it as a great betrayal. India was totally unprepared to face its mighty neighbour. Critics described his China policy as the biggest blunder of his career. During the war his task was to keep the moral of his people and to see off the unexpected military threat.

In those days of Nehru's personal and national crisis, Chaman Lal Chaman, a young Indian journalist from the Kenyan Broadcasting Corporation arrived in Delhi to report the war for the NRIs living in Kenya and other East African Countries. He managed a rare scoop, a one-to-one interview with Nehru, something unheard in those days.

When Netaji asked students to serve India

In this rare and inspiring speech Netaji Subhash Bose asks Indian students to emulate the example of youth in Russia, France and Italy to take part in freedom struggle and serve their country. The speech seems to be of the early 1940s when he was still a member of the Congress party. In the 1941, disappointed with Gandhi's non-violent struggle, he left India to launch a military struggle for the freedom of India with the help of Nazi Germany and Japan, a move disapproved by Gandhi and Nehru.

History of political science

While the study of politics is first found in ancient Greece and ancient India, political science is a late arrival in terms of social scieces. However, the discipline has a clear set of antecedents such as amoral,political philosophy, political economy history, and other fields concerned with normatve determinations of what ought to be and with deducing the characteristics and functions of the ideal state. In each historic period and in almost every geographic area, we can find someone studying politics and increasing political understanding.
