ALIGARH [ZAKIR HUSSAIN KHAN] INTRODUCTION TO BIBLIOGRAPHY AIM AND SCOPE Uttar Pradesh the largest populous state of the country is a politically volatile entity of the Indian fedral structure. It has the largest share of 85 representatives in the Indian Parliament. In the pre- independence period, it was called United provinces of Agra and Oudh joined together for administrative purpose by the Britishers and later after 1935 the name was shortened to United province. Though the state of Uttar Pradesh as it was named after independence was dominated by the single party that is Congress, now has a totally changed scenario with a large number of regional parties on the scene. This new grouping of the political forces in the last decade has given a twist to the state politics and its impact on the national politics is visible with bare eye. From the last one decade whereby the one party domination of Congress came to an end and new forces emerged in the state. Everybody intends to read and know about the changing political equations of Uttar Pradesh. The present study contains in the form of annotated, bibliography, significant literature appearing in some periodicals dealing with party politics in Uttar Pradesh. IX Although the bibliography is selective in nature an attempt has been made to cover all major aspects of the politics of Uttar Pradesh. In all 200 articles on the topic have been included in the present work. The bibliography is divided in to three parts: Part one deals with the description of work. PART two which is the main part of the present study, consisting of an annotated list of 200 articles on the subject. Part three includes author and title index.

Wew Age. 46, 28; 1996, July 14;7. Comments that after failing in its bid to retain power at the centre, the Bhartiya Janta Party is now bending all its energies to capture Lucknow. Victory in the largest state of the country is crucial for it. At one side they have to boost the morale of their cadre greatly depressed by the defeat in Parliament, and on the other hand it has to evolve a formula to make a base among the OBC's, so that BJP can comeout with a sound majority and can install government on its own.
