Title: Social Change and Political Discourse in India: Structures of Power, Movements of Resistance Volume 2
Description: The is the second volume of an important, rigorously planned four-volume series providing penetrating, multidisciplinary perspectives on the changing face of political discourse in post-Independence India. The volumes are closely interlinked thematically and yet each is self-contained.

The series originated in a concern with the academic study of political processes and their ramifications within the framework of Indian society and the post-Independence Indian state, and the need to strike out a new path directed towards closing the gap between empirical observation, on the one hand, and analysis and understanding of dynamic political processes, on the other.

To examine how concepts that have originated in differing contexts (widely divergent cultural contexts as well as sub-contexts such as constitutional, state, grass-root political movements) have interacted with each other. To discover which have gained ascendance, which have been marginalized, and why. In brief, to chart the historical path as well as the social trajectory of an entirely new vocabulary that has developed in post-Independence India.
