EDITORIAL

Welcome to the combined issue of our Journal-of Political Studies, March-October, 2016. We are sorry to be behind the schedule and hence this combined publication of March and October issues. Nothing in defense of the delay except that we have been waiting for contributions that might interest our readers and we chose not to be timely with hackneyed themes. We have in this issue ten research papers and two book reviews. They range from field based accounts to analytical studies, from studies . on political parties through cultural studies to citizenship issues. We sincerely hope there is something for everyone interested in politics. With fraternal regards.
