This edited volume is dedicated to the study of social, economic,
and political elites in India. It's contributors address some
fundamental questions regarding India's social and economic elites,
the change in their composition in recent years, their relationship
with each other and with the rest of the social body, and the role
of caste in the configuration and reconfiguration of social and
economic elites by analysing elite discourses and representations
and what they reveal of their social inscription in contemporary
India. The editors have sorted this book into three broad themes.
The first theme concerns elite spaces which explores the uneasiness
of elites to handle public and private spaces and interests. The
second theme concerns the trajectories of particular elite groups
such as the dominant caste called the Kammas of Andhra Pradesh, the
Jats of Uttar Pradesh, and Urban elites. The third and final theme
concerns elite lives and practices of diverse elite groups. This
book is addressed to not only the scholar community interested in
the sociology of India's elites, but to any reader interested in
knowing how recent social and economic change in India affects the
lives and trajectories of its elites.
