Focusing on the twin issues of identity and development that are
often signifiers of the unravelling politics in the federal polity,
the book make a concerted attempt to look at (and beyond) the
states by exploring the specificities of the regions within these
states. It does so through a comparative study from the vantage
point of democratic politics as it unfurls in recent India.
Emphasising that regions within the states are not merely
politico-administrative instituted constructs but are also imagined
or constituted, among others, in historical, geographic, economic,
sociological or cultural terms, it argues that any meaningful
comparative study of the regions would naturally straddle the
disciplinary boundaries of social sciences. The book attempts to go
beyond the states and look at the regions within them as a
distinctive analytical category for an in-depth study of the
democratic politics of identity and development unfolding at the
state level.
