This book analyses India’s middle class by recognising the diversity within the class, the people, their practices, and the production of spaces. It explores the economic and social lives of the new middle class, expanding the areas of inquiry beyond consumption in post-liberalisation India and its intersectionalities with gender, caste, religion, migration, and other socioeconomic markers in various cities across the country. The book interrogates the meanings and perceptions of social mobility, growth, consumerism, technology, social identity, and development and examines how they can be emancipatory or subjugating in different contexts. It engages with the new entrants in the middle class, particularly from the marginalised sections, their struggles, insecurities, anxieties, agency, and experiences. The personal, emotive, and psychic dimensions of social mobility have been dealt with in the larger context of socioeconomic settings. The book crosses disciplinary and spatial boundaries and uses a variety of methodologies to provide perspectives on several unexplored or underexplored areas of India’s new middle class.This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of sociology, economics, development studies, public policy, social work, and South Asian studies.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a mass exodus of India’s migrant workers from the cities back to the villages. This book explores the social conditions and concerns around health, labour, migration, and gender that were thrown up as a result of this forced migration.The book examines the failings of the public health systems and the state response to address the humanitarian crisis which unfolded in the middle of the pandemic. It highlights how the pandemic-lockdown disproportionately affected marginalised social groups – Dalits and the Adivasi communities, women and Muslim workers. The book reflects on the socio-economic vulnerabilities of migrant workers, their rights to dignity, questions around citizenship, and the need for robust systems of democratic and constitutional accountability. The chapters also critically look at the gendered vulnerabilities of women and non-cis persons in both public and private spaces, the exacerbation of social stratification and prejudices, incidents of intimidation by the administration and the police forces, and proposed labour reforms which might create greater insecurities for migrant workers.This important and timely book will be of great interest to researchers and students of sociology, public policy, development studies, gender studies, labour and economics, and law.

This book examines some of the social dimensions of Indian society and the challenges therein. It explores various themes, including the rules and norms governing people’s lives, the rhythm of village life, mythology and folk narratives, as well as social structures, institutions, and processes like caste, class, gender, religion, family formation, conjugality, dialect–language dichotomy, and the Indian diaspora.Written in honour of Professor Hetukar Jha, renowned for his pioneering contributions to historical sociology and the integration of historical methods with sociological analysis, this collection presents theoretical and empirical articles examining India's complex social landscape. The contributors explore fundamental questions about Indian society's cultural dynamics, the interplay between tradition and modernity, evolving norms and values, and the manifestation of social cohesion and conflict across gender, caste, class, and religion. The book addresses transformations in key social institutions like marriage and language while representing India's spatial diversities and distinct regional cultural practices across its vast geographical expanse. The chapters take a long view on social transformations since India confronted Western "modernity" during British rule and the post-independence period up to the present era of globalisation and liberalisation.The book will be of interest to research scholars and faculty in the fields of sociology, social anthropology, cultural studies, gender studies, Dalit studies, literature, South Asian studies, and political science.
