India's economic growth has brought opportunities for many but to
what extent has it benefitted its ethnically-shaped underclass: the
Dalits? Have Dalits fared better in a neoliberal India or have
structural economic and social changes served to magnify Dalit
disadvantage? This volume offers a varied picture of Dalit
experience in different states in contemporary India. The essays
draw on factual research in rural and urban areas by experts in the
field. With case studies ranging from Dalit entrepreneurs in Bhopal
to housewives in Tamil Nadu to ex-millworkers in Mumbai, the book
contends that radically progressive change and advance is attended
by discrimination and exclusion, as well as surprising new areas of
stigma. With contributions by political scientists,
anthropologists, sociologists, and economists, the volume will be
key reading for scholars and students of Dalit and subaltern
studies, sociology, political science, and economics.
