Democratic Transformation and the Vernacular Public Arena in India - Hardback

This book analyses the unprecedented, democratic transformation which currently takes place in India. It employs the new analytical framework of the "vernacular public arena", in which negotiations, dialogues, debates, and contestations take place among diverse vernacular publics. An original, comprehensive study to further our understanding of the unfolding political dynamism and the complex reshuffling and reassembling going on in Indian society and politics, this book will be of interest to academics with an interest in South Asian Studies from a variety of disciplines, including Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology and Media Studies.
