This book examines the impact of globalization on some vital
aspects of Indian politics, its structures and processes, and
identifies the challenges to globalization itself, in order to
highlight India's complex and fascinating story. In 1991, India
officially embraced the policy of neo-liberal reforms by signing
the GATT agreement, which exposed the country, its society, culture
and institutions to the various forces of globalization.
Globalization as such may not be new to India, for the country has
been embracing the influence of external cultures and civilisations
for millennia, but the post-1991 reforms policy marked a
significant shift, from a predominantly social welfare state and a
command economy to a predominantly market driven one. Through a
range of disciplinary perspectives, the authors analyse how India's
version of secularism, communal harmony, nationhood, the public
sphere, social justice, and the rights of aboriginal communities
came under attack from the forces of the new dispensation. The book
goes on to show how globalisation in India has posed fresh
challenges to political economy, democracy, federalism,
decentralization, parliamentary system, judiciary, and the
parliamentary Left. Critically reflecting on themes in the context
of India's globalisation that are local, regional, national and
global, this book will be of interest to those in the fields of
South Asian Politics, Globalisation, and International Relations.
