In recent decades, India has been witness to the assertion of
geographically, culturally and historically constituted distinct
and well-defined regions that display ethnic, communal, caste and
other social-political cleavages. This book examines the changing
configurations of state politics in India. Focussing on identity
politics and development, it explores the specificities of the
regions within states - not merely as politico-administrative
constructs but also as conceived in historical, geographic,
economic, sociological or cultural terms. Adopting a comparative
approach, the book looks at alternative theoretical approaches -
the quest for homeland, identity, caste politics and public policy.
This second edition includes a new Introduction that updates the
research in the area, while further developing the theoretical
framework. One of the first major volumes on federalism in India,
including studies from across the nation, this book will be
indispensable for students and scholars of political science,
sociology, history and South Asian studies.
