Soft cover. Zustand: As New. Democracy and the crisis of inequality analyses how from the early 1990s politics in India began to undergo a fundamental transformation. Ethnic politics occupied centre stage, often prompting violent conflict and major political changes. Some of the essays focus on changes relating to representation, redistribution, social justice, secularism and the changing nature of the state in the wake of economic liberalization and globalization. Key issues that have been discussed are: the policies of group differentiated rights; caste-class politics; regional assertions; women's rights and minority politics and their impact on the pursuit of equality. Political change and the debates surrounding these categories and concerns, thus, provide a context for understanding the conflicts and tensions-between party politics and democracy, state and society, and democracy and development-that have shaped the transformation of the economy, Polity and society in India in the last few decades.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. An examination of the nature of agrarian society and the role of the rural power structure has, of late, become an important feature in any analysis of political change in India. The spread of the Green Revolution and the growing importance of the agrarian sector has served to turn attention to the process of political mobilisation in the countryside. The growth of agrarian capitalism and the resulting mobilisation of new social groups has underpinned fundamental changes in many parts of the country while also paving the way for the emergence of the rich peasants. This book analyses, within the above framework, the structure and issues of party politics in north India and, more specifically, in relation to the response of certain castes and classes in Aligarh district of western UP. Zoya Hasan delineates the patterns and shifts in mobilisation over a fifty year period and assesses the extent to which these are related to changes in the political economy of the district. The author presents a systematic analysis of the emergence and eventual dominance of rich peasants, who are drawn from the ranks of the middle and backward castes in Aligarh district. She goes on to examine how the demands and grievances of certain groups are translated into support for political parties and, further, how the vested interests of both middle and rich peasants influence their responses to the policies of these political parties. This significant study in agrarian relations and politics will be widely welcomed by political scientists, historians, sociologists, and all those interested in studying the changing contours of rural Indian society.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. "Muslim women have been the subject of considerable debate in India, chiefly around the conflicting claims of personal law, identity, and gender. Existing literature on Indian women in general ignores Muslim women, considers their status a product of personal laws, and assumes sameness both in status and in forms of oppression. Based on recent empirical work, the essays in this volume present the diversity of Muslim women's lives in all its complexity. They analyse patterns of employment and the low participation of Muslim women in the labour market explore gender differentials in educational attainment and its links to other aspects of social inequality and examine the influence of religious and other factors on the access of Muslim women to property and work. The volume further explores constraints on educational advancement and draws out the linkage between rights and empowerment. While recognizing the validity of community identity and discourse, the contributors emphasize t he force of material and social circumstances in shaping the lives of Muslim women. They reiterate that there exists no 'fixed identity' for Muslim women--rather that it is contingent and contextually determined.".…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Three shifts have shaped Indian politics in the current conjuncture consolidation of a majoritarian brand of politics, decline in the autonomy of institutions and curbs on dissent and opposition. At the heart of these changes lies the politics of the ruling party fuelled by the Hindu majoritarian project and a move away from pluralism. The very idea of a democracy based on equal rights irrespective of caste, class or faith has changed under the pressure of majoritarian politics. This combined with the declining independence of institutions and the dilution of checks and balances has contributed to democratic erosion. This book ties to make sense of these changes by focussing on two overlapping developments- the expansion of a majoritarian politics and the shrinking space for dissent and pluralism in the past decade. It unpacks the implications and consequences of these developments in five areas dissent, media, rights, protests and opposition.…
