This study describes and analyses the new social movements that
have arisen in India over the past two decades, in particular the
anti-caste movement (of both the untouchables and the lower-middle
castes), the women's liberation movement, the farmers' movement
(centred on struggles arising out of their integration into a
state-controlled capitalist market), and the environmental
movements (opposition to destructive development, including
resistance to big dam projects and the search for alternatives).
Rooted in participant observation, it focuses on the ideologies and
self-understanding of the movements themselves. The central themes
of this book are the origin of movements in the socio-economic
contradictions of post-independence India; their effect on
political developments, in particular the disintegration of
Congress hegemony; their relation to "traditional Marxist" theory
and Communist practice; and their groping toward a synthesis of
theory and practice that constitutes a new social vision distinct
from traditional Marxism.
