The chapters focus on five themes that dominated India's public sphere: the question of secularism communalism; social justice and power-sharing by the backward castes; political configurations in a post-Congress Polity; the entrenchment of impunity instead of the rule of law; and the political economy of economic policy. The contributors to this volume have observed, analysed, and commented on a range of topics, from the lack of justice for victims of the 2002 Gujarat massacres, farmer suicides, and agrarian distress, to the indo-china border dispute. Focusing on India's society, economy, and Polity, the volume includes research on the environment, health, education, censorship, and free speech, among other themes which have formed subjects of prescient debates that will help us to make sense of the present times as well.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Vol info | Status | Date due | Barcode |
