Abstract

The parties of the Center in both Israel and India have been under major ideological transformation and political churning. Unlike the Indian National Congress, which continued to dominate parliamentary politics for nearly three-quarters, the centrist parties in Israel did not witness consistent and coherent upward turn and registered disappearance from the national scene after short interregnums. Other centrist political parties in India followed the Israeli centrist path and failed to reap rich electoral dividends. Whether the Congress would go the Israeli centrist parties’ way or the Israeli Center would follow the Congress path will be determined by new electoral alignments and ideological transformation in the years to come.
