Why India is a democracy and Pakistan is not (yet?) a democracy -- The first thirty years of independence -- Inheritances of colonial rule -- Constitutional and political choices, in the initial years -- Institutionalizing democracy -- Who (really) governs? -- From 1977 to the present -- 1977 as a turning point? -- Religion as an explanation -- External influences -- Clearly diverging paths -- Prospects for path convergence in the next decades.
"This book deals with a most interesting and rather unexplored problem: why has India become a robust democracy and Pakistan ended up by being a military-ruled country while both of them share similar cultural features and emerged from the same history (including the colonial experience)?"
