A Great Transformation? Edited by Sanjay Ruparelia and Sanjay Reddy, both at The New School for Social Research, John Harriss, Simon Fraser University, Canada and Stuart Corbridge, London School of Economics, UK Since 1989, a number of large-scale transformations have reshaped India. This textbook provides a detailed account of three that are of particular importance: the advent of liberal economic reform, the ascendance of Hindu cultural nationalism, and the empowerment of historically subordinate classes through popular democratic mobilizations. Filling a gap in existing literature, the book goes beyond looking at the transformations in isolation, managing to: • explain the empirical linkages between these three phenomena • provide an account that integrates the insights of separate disciplinary perspectives • explain their distinct but possibly related causes and the likely consequences of these central transformations taken together. Chapters focus on the political, economic and social aspects of India in the current as well as the historical context since the country’s independence. Based on empirical findings, contributors discuss how the multilevel and multidirectional growth story of India is likely to develop. This is an essential text for students and researchers of India’s political economy and the growth economies of Asia.
