'Re-framing Democracy and Agency in India: Interrogating Political
Society' critically unpacks the concept of 'political society',
which was formulated as a response to the idea of civil society in
the postcolonial context. The volume's case studies, drawn from
across India and combined with a sharp focus on the concept of
political society, provide those interested in Indian democracy and
its changing patterns with an indispensable collection of works,
brought together in their common pursuit of highlighting the
limitations of different core concepts as formulated by Chatterjee.
Centred around five themes - the relation between the civil and the
political; the role of middlemen and their impact on the mobility
of subaltern groups; elites and leadership; the fragmentation and
intra-subaltern conflicts and their implications for subaltern
agency; and the idea of moral claims and moral community - this
volume re-frames issues of democracy and agency in India within a
wider scope than has ever been published before, and gathers ideas
from some of the foremost scholars in the field. The volume
concludes with a rejoinder from Partha Chatterjee.
