Abstract

The year 1977 witnessed a new and radical transformation in the electoral politics of both Israel and India. It marked the beginning of an alternative party politics, thus challenging the one-party dominance in the two nations. The emergence of Likud in Israel and the Janata Parivar in India challenged the politics of alignment hitherto seen with the parties of dominance—the Mapai/Israeli Labor Party and the Congress—during the founding years. The two-party system, characterized as ‘bi-block polarity’, however, didn’t sustain for long. The decade of the 1980s and onward witnessed the changing forms of alignments, competitive coalitions, new electoral experiences and increasing voting patterns in Israel and India.

Fußnoten
1
In Hebrew, it indicates earthquake, which signifies a radical electoral transformation.

The term Parivar refers to family. It was used for the first time for Janata Party in view of five different political groups coming together to present an anti-Congress alternative under the initiative of Jaya Prakash Narayan in 1977. Later on, the term became frequently associated with RSS. Anderson and Damle (1987) used the phrase for RSS, calling it as Sangh Parivar for the first time.

The Jana Sangh members in the Janata Parivar happened to be the members of its parent organization—RSS. Some of the Janata constituents wanted the Jana Sangh dissociation from RSS as the pre-condition to stay in the ruling coalition.

A man with expertise in technology as against politics, Rajiv Gandhi did not have any political experience in Indian politics. A trained pilot with a specialization in mechanical engineering from London, he used his technological know-how in addressing many important issues affecting Indian polity. He became in 1984 the first technocrat to hold the post of Prime Minister in the country.
