"Broken Promises: Rise of Socialist Politics in Bihar" delves into the profound impact of socialist leaders in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh following the JP Movement, their rise marked by promises of socio-economic justice. However, the book critically examines how corruption eroded public trust, leading to the downfall of Congress in Bihar. It highlights the ideological failures of socialist leaders, whose lofty promises often failed to materialize, leaving Bihar vulnerable to criminal infiltration and a breakdown in law and order. The talk explores the divisive caste politics that entrenched vote bank strategies, resulting in Bihar's classification as a failed state. The era witnessed notorious figures like Bahubali Sahabuddin, Pappu Yadav, etc epitomizing the lawlessness that plagued Bihar. Despite brief respites under leaders like Nitish Kumar, Bihar's journey remains marred by Lalu's scandals and caste massacres, reflecting a tumultuous political landscape struggling to find redemption.
