Yet the ways in which state politics shape India’s social welfare policies are inadequately understood.
After a decade of experimentation with new rights-based approaches to social policy at the national level, there is a pressing need to understand how regional political environments influence the ways in which policies are initiated and enacted on the ground.
Written by political scientists and a sociologist with expertise across India’s regions, this volume presents comparative analyses of the emergent politics of welfare across Indian states. Bringing together ground-level empirical data and innovative perspectives, it investigates the ways in which state-level political dynamics shape policies in the fields of education, health insurance, social security, employment, and food subsidies. In-depth and timely, the book allows for a deeper understanding of the diversity of welfare scenarios in contemporary India  aSocial welfare problems and services in India  aPublic welfare -- Social security  aDeshpande, Rajeshwari, editor.  aKailash, K.
