This book discusses the forms and dynamics of political processes
in rural India with a special emphasis on West Bengal, the nation's
fourth-most populous state. West Bengal's political distinction
stems from its long legacy of a Left-led coalition government for
more than thirty years and its land reform initiatives. The book
closely looks at how people from different castes, religions, and
genders represent themselves in local governments, political
parties, and in the social movements in West Bengal. At the same
time it addresses some important questions: Is there any new
pattern of politics emerging at the margins? How does this pattern
of politics correspond with the current discourse of governance?
Using ethnographic techniques, it claims to chart new territories
by not only examining how rural people see the state, but also
conceiving the context by comparing the available theoretical
frameworks put forward to explain the political dynamics of rural
India.
