Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Who exactly are the middle classes in India? What role do they play in contemporary Indian politics and society, and what are their historical and cultural moorings? The authors of this volume argue that the middle class has largely been understood as an income/ economic category, but the term has a broader social and conceptual history, globally as well as in India. To begin with, the middle class is not a homogeneous category but is shaped byspecific colonial and post-colonial experiences and is differentiated by caste, ethnicity, region, religion, and gender locations. These socio-economic differentiations shape its politics and cultureand become the basis of internal conflicts, contestations, and divergent political worldviews. The authors demonstrate how the middle class has acquired a certain legitimacy to speak on behalf of the society as a whole, despite its politics being inherently exclusionary, as it tries to protect its own interests. Further, perceived as an aspirational category, the middle class has a seductive charm for the lower classes, who struggle to shift to this ever elusive social location. Who exactly are the middle classes in India? What role do they play in contemporary Indian politics and society, and what are their historical and cultural moorings?

Since 1966, when Economic Weekly formally expanded its mission and became the Economic and Political Weekly, it has been a significant space for critical, constructive and innovative thinking on political, social and economic issues. Reading India, Vol. II, the second of the three volumes commemorating 50 years of the EPW, brings together a selection of articles from 1966-1991. Divided into three fields of inquiry the political, social and economic it presents an analysis of the issues and concerns that dominated this period, and in some ways, shaped the discourse of the following decades. The first section, dealing with politics, focuses on two concerns of this period - democracy and equality. The essays examine issues related to: political representation, electoral processes, policies of reservation, inter-caste and inter-religious conflict, status of women, and measurement of poverty. The second section takes up the concerns highlighted by sociologists and social anthropologists: the changing Indian family, rural leadership patterns, economic and social changes taking place in India s rural economy, affirmative action and the marginalisation of religious minorities. The final section showcases trends in economic thinking during this period, which questioned the economic policies of the era and shaped the direction and nature of the post-1991 reforms. Together, this collection presents analysis, research and debates that are relevant even today for understanding India. (jacket).…

Rural and urban are the foremost categories through which social life has been visualised and engaged with in modern and contemporary times. The idea of the rural or the village has been of particular significance in India. British colonisers represented India to the world as a land of village republics . This representation was so influential that even the nationalist leaders accepted it uncritically. Gandhi advocated a return to the village as the only genuine way to gaining swaraj, or self-rule. Nehru and Ambedkar too saw the village as the site of India s traditional life; however, to them it was also a signifier of India s economic backwardness and social ills. These notions have shaped social science scholarship, popular politics and public policy. The idea of such a demographic transition continues to be a core element of state policy and an important indicator of positive social change and economic growth/ modernisation. However, the rural in India persists; nearly two-thirds of India s population still lives in rural settlements. A Handbook of Rural India, brings together.…
