This book examines the middle classes - who they are and what they
do - and their influence in shaping contemporary cultural politics
in India. Describing the historical emergence of these classes,
from the colonial period to contemporary times, it shows how the
middle classes have changed, with older groups shifting out and new
entrants taking place, thereby transforming the character and
meanings of the category. The essays in this volume observe
multiple sites of social action (workplaces and homes, schools and
streets, cinema and sex surveys, temples and tourist hotels) to
delineate the lives of the middle classes and show how middle-class
definitions and desires articulate hegemonic notions of the normal
and the normative.
