Historically, though, observers have argued that Indian politics is non-ideological in nature. In contrast, Pradeep Chhibber and Rahul\u003cbr\u003eVerma contend that the Western European paradigm of ideology is not applicable to many contemporary multiethnic countries. In these more diverse states, the most important ideological debates center on \u003cem\u003estatism\u003c\/em\u003e-the extent to which the state should dominate and regulate society-and\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003erecognition\u003c\/em\u003e-whether and how the state should accommodate various marginalized groups and protect minority rights from majorities. Using survey data from the Indian National Election Studies and evidence from the Constituent Assembly debates, they show how education, the media, and religious practice\u003cbr\u003etransmit the competing ideas that lie at the heart of ideological debates in India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pradeep K.
