This book investigates the Internet as a site of political
contestation in the Indian context. It widens the scope of the
public sphere to social media, and explores its role in shaping the
resistance and protest movements on the ground. The volume also
explores the role of the Internet, a global technology, in framing
debates on the idea of the nation state, especially India, as well
as diplomacy and international relations. It also discusses the
possibility of whether Internet can be used as a tool for social
justice and change, particularly by the underprivileged, to go
beyond caste, class, gender and other oppressive social structures.
A tract for our times, this book will interest scholars and
researchers of politics, media studies, popular culture, sociology,
international relations as well as the general reader.
