Why are some places in the world characterized by better social
service provision and welfare outcomes than others? In a world in
which millions of people, particularly in developing countries,
continue to lead lives plagued by illiteracy and ill-health,
understanding the conditions that promote social welfare is of
critical importance to political scientists and policy makers
alike. Drawing on a multi-method study, from the late-nineteenth
century to the present, of the stark variations in educational and
health outcomes within a large, federal, multiethnic developing
country - India - this book develops an argument for the power of
collective identity as an impetus for state prioritization of
social welfare. Such an argument not only marks an important break
from the dominant negative perceptions of identity politics but
also presents a novel theoretical framework to understand welfare
provision.
