Abstract

Bihar is well known as a socially and economically backward region of India, and the inter-play of caste and politics is also well known. In the present thesis, an attempt has been made to analyse the backward class empowerment and to map the actual influence of caste on the state politics, i.e. the vernacularisation of democratic politics in Bihar. This phenomenon has been examined both in terms of historical development as well as the different level of political process in Bihar. The impact of backward caste empowerment on politics has progressively been increasing and if the present is any indication, it is very unlikely that the impact will be reduced in the near future.
