A New India? (eBook, PDF)

Critical Reflections in the Long Twentieth Century
Redaktion: D'Costa, Anthony P.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This volume critically examines the notion of a 'new' India by acknowledging that India is changing remarkably and by indicating that in the overzealous enthusiasm about the new India, there is collective amnesia about the other, older India. The book argues that the increasing consolidation of capitalist markets of commodity production and consumption has unleashed not only economic growth and social change, but has also introduced new contradictions associated with market dynamics in the material and social as well as intellectual spheres.
