Emergence of Political Parties in Himachal Pradesh from 1951 to 2017

Abstract

Party system in India is inimitable and can be described by the singular nature of Indian politics on one hand, and state-society association on the other. In the last few decades, the nature of Indian politics has undergone transformation both in nature of relationship between the state and the society and the state of Himachal is no exception to this. One of the very significant indicators of transformation is evident in the context of the politicization of greater number of people, particularly those belonging to the underprivileged class of society. This describes the change in the nature of party system too. The unique characteristics which described the party system of India in the first two decades after independence are no longer seen. To comprehend the present evolution of party system, it is important to trace its history vis-à-vis its political rational in view of the changing state-society rapport. In 1948, when the state of Himachal Pradesh first came into being as a Union Territory till 1971 when it eventually attained the statehood, and up to present day, the political and administrative history of state has seen many ups and downs, which has molded the present day Himachal. In the present paper, an effort has been made to trace the origin and development of political parties in the state of Himachal Pradesh.
