Synopsis

This book traces the post-1989 tectonic shifts in Indian society, economy and polity, which marked the unravelling of the 'Nehruvian consensus' around a 'modern, secular nation with a self-reliant economy'. In this period of rapid transformation, caste and religion have come to play major roles in national politics, global economic integration created conflict between the state and dispossessed people, even as the processes of globalization enabled new spaces for political assertion, such as around sexuality.
