Cultural Politics of Modern India

Gudavarthy, Ajay

Cultural Politics of Modern India / Ajay Gudavarthy - Delhi : Aakar Books , 2015. - 246 p. ; 24 cm.

Cultural Politics of Modern India is about the interface between cultural representations, images and discourses and their interface with politics, including electoral and institutional. It traces the current processes involving various subaltern groups including the dalits, Muslims, OBCs, rural and urban poor and broadly argues that while they are being gradually being included in the policy frame, they are also getting inextricably entangled into various kinds of intra-subaltern conflicts. The nature of intra-subaltern conflicts in effect will influence the health of democracy in India. The book focuses on issues that include education, culture and community, Dalit politics, formation of smaller states, citizenship and democracy in India, Left in India, Rise of the Right and the Modi phenomenon and AAP and graft.
