The work focuses on a subaltern local sovereignty movement
called "Telangana" in India. Over the last ten years, this movement
has engaged in a massive political mobilization, including strikes,
rallies, work stoppages, occupation of public spaces, electoral
contests, 200 and more political suicides and media battles. But,
interestingly enough, notwithstanding a political mobilization that
has brought day-to-day life to a halt on a number of occasions, it
has remained largely invisible in international media and global
politics.
Fascinated by the social movement s international invisibility
as well as the causes and conditions of its eruption around a
city/region that has become a showcase of new capitalist
development, Muppidi seeks to unpack this issue, showing that this
invisibility is not just intrinsically puzzling, but also
represents the operation of power on a global scale. Investigating
the conditions of invisibility in this instance can therefore tell
us something important about the way global power works to produce
visibility and invisibility in the 21st century world.
