A slightly different version of the article will appear in a forthcoming (1992) anthology edited by the AKUT research collective with some of the contributions to a conference entitled “When does democracy make sense? Political economy and political rights in the third world with some European comparisons,” Uppsala, Sweden, 26–28 Oct. 1989. The research is financed by Uppsala University, the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation, and the Swedish Council for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences. I am most thankful to all of those, within India and Indonesia as well as outside, who have been kind enough to share their analyses with me.
