1989 marks the unraveling of India's 'Nehruvian Consensus' around
the idea of a modern, secular nation with a self-reliant economy.
Caste and religion have come to play major roles in national
politics. Global economic integration has led to conflict between
the state and dispossessed people, but processes of globalization
have also enabled new spaces for political assertion, such as
around sexuality. Older challenges to the idea of India continue
from movements in Kashmir and the North-East, while Maoist
insurgency has deepened its bases. In a world of American Empire,
India as a nuclear power has abandoned non-alignment, a shift that
is contested by voices within. Power and Contestation shows that
the turbulence and turmoil of this period are signs of India's
continued vibrancy and democracy. The book is an ideal introduction
to the complex internal histories and external power relations of a
major global player for the new century.
