The study unfolds the working of party politics in Jharkhand in the national background during the colonial and post-colonial period. This period witnessed manifold changes when the democratic system was partially introduced under the representative government and provincial autonomy. After Independence and the establishment of the Republic, the nature and working of the political parties underwent a sea change.
