capacity after dealing with difficult circumstances and

(Routledge new horizons in South Asian studies).

In recent years exclusionary policies of the Indian state
have raised questions concerning social harmony and
economic progress. During the last few decades the
emergence of identity politics has given new lease of
life to exclusionary practices in the country. Castes,
communities and ethnic groups have re-emerged in almost
every sphere of social life .The book shows that a shift
has taken place in the discourse on inclusion and
exclusion. Chapters by experts in their fields explore
issues of inclusion and exclusion that merit special
attention such as Dalit identity, ethnicity,
territoriality and minorities. Authors raise questions
about developmental programs of the state aimed at
making India more inclusive and discuss development
projects initiated to alleviate socio-economic conditions
of the urban poor in the cities.

7 Chakrabarty, Bidyut
Localizing governance in India / Bidyut Chakrabarty.--
London: Routledge, 2017.
x,302p.,24cm.
(Routledge studies in South Asian politics).
ISBN : 9781138694002.
320.80954 CHA 145791
This book traces historical-intellectual trajectories of
participatory governance and how older Western discourses
have influenced Indian policymakers. While colonial
rulers devolved power to accommodate dissenting voices,
for independent India, participatory governance was a
design for democratizing governance in its true sense.
Participation also acted as a vehicle for localizing
governance. The author draws on both Western and non-
Western theoretical treatises and the book seeks to
conceptualize localizing governance also as a contextual
response. It also makes the argument that despite being
located in different socio-economic and political milieu,
thinkers converge to appreciate localizing governance as
perhaps the only reliable means to democratize
governance.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
ISBN : 9781107140769.
323 MON 145761
We live in a highly complex and evolving world that
requires a fuller and deeper understanding of how modern
technological tools, ideas, practices, and institutions
interact, and how different societies adjust themselves
to emerging realities of the digital age. This book
conveys such issues with a fresh perspective and in a
systematic and coherent way. While many studies have
explained in depth the change in the aftermath of the
unrests and uprisings throughout the world, they rarely
mentioned the need for constructing new human rights
norms and standards. This edited collection provides a
balanced conceptual framework to demonstrate not only the
power of autonomous communication networks but also their
limits and the increasing setbacks they encounter in
different contexts.

13 Rothstein, Bo
Making sense of corruption / Bo Rothstein, Aiysha
Varraich.-- United Kingdom: Cambridge University Press,
2017.
viii,177 p. , 23 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
ISBN : 9781316615270.
364.1323 ROT 145760
Tackling this important and provocative topic, the
authors provide an accessible and systematic analysis of
how our understanding of corruption has evolved. They
identify gaps in the research and make connections
between related concepts such as clientelism, patronage,
patrimonialism, particularism and state capture. A
fundamental issue discussed is how the opposite of
corruption should be defined. By arguing for the
possibility of a universal understanding of corruption,
and specifically what corruption is not, an innovative
solution to this problem is presented. This book provides
an accessible overview of corruption, allowing scholars
and students alike to see the far reaching place it has
within academic research.

(Routledge advances in film studies).
ISBN : 9781138184626.

This is the first-ever book on the rise of the new wave
of independent Indian films that is revolutionizing
Indian cinema. Contemporary scholarship on Indian cinema
so far has focused asymmetrically on Bollywood India’s
dominant cultural export. Reversing this trend, this book
provides an in-depth examination of the burgeoning
independent Indian film sector. It locates the new
-Indies- as a global hybrid film form global in aesthetic
and local in content.

Popular Hindi Cinema : aesthetic formations of the seen

xii,196p.,25cm.
ISBN : 9781138962811.
791.430954 PAR 145794
The book shows the films outside Western paradigms, as
visual manifestations and outcomes of the evolution of
classical Hindu notions and esthetic forms. These include
notions associated with the Advaita-Vedanta philosophical
school and early Buddhist thought, concepts and dynamism
stemming from Hindu ritualism, rasa esthetic theories, as
well as Brahmanic notions such as dharma (religion, law,
order), and moka (liberation). These are all highly
abstract notions which the author defines as "the
unseen": a cluster of diversified concepts denoting what
subsists beyond the phenomenal, what prevails beyond the
empirical world of sasra and stands out of this world
while simultaneously being embodied and
transformed within visual filmic imagery, codes and
semiotics that are teased out and analyzed.
