520			_aPolitics of Post-Civil Society: Contemporary History of Political Movements in India examines the transformation of political movements and democratic politics in India in the post-liberalization era. Ajay Gudavarthy argues that traditional understandings of civil society are inadequate for explaining the emergence of new social and political movements among marginalized groups. The book explores the politics of Dalits, Adivasis, backward classes, women's movements, regional movements, and other identity-based mobilizations. It analyzes how these movements challenge established political institutions and reshape democratic participation in contemporary India. The author discusses issues of citizenship, social justice, identity politics, globalization, and the changing relationship between the state and civil society. The work contributes to debates in political theory, democratic studies, and contemporary Indian politics.
