Contours of Democracy in New India
About this book
This volume examines some of the most critical issues facing contemporary India. From the changing manifestations of national and state politics to questions of citizenship; from fraught land acquisitions for development to new welfare policies; from gender rights to labour rights, this book brings to the fore the tensions and the innovations that have come to be an integral part of everyday India. The essays in the volume critically address the transformations of the Indian state in the twenty-first century and trace their roots in contemporary history.
A timely intervention engaging with urgent concerns, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of politics, especially political economy, South Asian studies, and public policy.
