xix, 204p. , 22cm.
ISBN : 9789380601434.
330.954 DCO 138990
This book challenges the notion of a -new- India, not by
dismissing it as an imagined India, but by engaging in
the debate as to what constitutes the new. It
acknowledges that India is changing remarkably, while
also acknowledging that in the overzealous enthusiasm
about the new India there is collective amnesia about the
other, older India. It also argues that the increasing
consolidation of capitalist markets of commodity
production and consumption has unleashed not only
economic growth and social change, but also introduced
new contradictions associated with market dynamics in the
economic and social spheres such as agrarian crisis, slow
growth of employment, and the persistence of low-caste
exploitation.
