India has been catapulted to the centre of world attention. Its
rapidly growing economy, new geo-political confidence, and global
cultural influence have ensured that people across the world
recognise India as one of the main sites of social dynamism in the
early twenty-first century. In this book, research leaders John
Harriss, Craig Jeffrey and Trent Brown explore in depth the
economic, social, and political changes occurring in India today,
and their implications for the people of India and the world. Each
of the book's fourteen chapters seeks to answer a key question: Is
India's democracy under threat? Can India's Growth be sustained?
How are youth changing India? Drawing on a wealth of scholarly and
popular material as well as their own experience researching the
country during this period of major transformation, the authors
draw the reader into key debates about economic growth, poverty,
environmental justice, the character of Indian democracy, rights
and social movements, gender, caste, education, and foreign policy.
India, they conclude, has undergone some extraordinary and positive
changes since the early 1990s but deeply worrying threats remain:
increasing authoritarianism, growing inequality, entrenched
poverty, and environmental vulnerability. How India responds to
these crucial challenges will shape the world's largest democracy
for years to come.
