N2  - The book provides an analysis of local government in South Asian countries; their evolution from the colonial period to present, and recent steps towards democratisation, decentralization, debureaucratization and fiscal autonomy. Most of these countries share a common colonial legacy and an administrative framework inherited from the British, yet, their paths to nation-building and political development have been quite deverse. This analysis is a historical document on the birth and evolution of local-self government. It depicts the change patterns and practical implications of the local governance in India
