Hardback. Condizione: New. In a long and versatile career spanning thirty-five years, Ramachandra Guha has produced a vast body of work. Each time, he has broken new ground-his pioneering environmental histories of India and his still-relevant work on ecology and equity; his social histories of Indian cricket; his monumental history of the Indian republic; his biographies of Verrier Elwin and Gandhi; his anthologies of ecological, social and political thought in India; and his collections of biographical and political essays. Sparked by Guha's wide-ranging and important work, A Functioning Anarchy is a collection of essays by historians, social scientists, ecologists and journalists.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Burning Forest is an empathetic, moving account of what drives indigenous peasants to support armed struggle despite severe state repression, including lives lost, homes and communities destroyed.Over the past decade, the heavily forested,mineral-rich region of Bastar in central India has emerged as one of the most militarized sites in the country. The government calls the Maoist insurgency the biggest security threat to India. In 2005, a state-sponsored vigilante movement, the Salwa Judum, burnt hundreds of villages, driving their inhabitants into state-controlled camps, drawing on counterinsurgency techniques developed in Malaysia, Vietnam and elsewhere. Apart from rapes and killings, hundreds of surrendered Maoist sympathisers were conscripted as auxiliaries. The conflict continues to this day, taking a toll on the lives of civilians, security forces and Maoist cadres. In 2007, Sundar and others took the Indian government to the Supreme Court over the human rights violations arising out ofthe conflict. In a landmark judgment, the Court in 2011 banned state supportfor vigilantism. The Burning Forest describes this brutal war in the heart of India, and what it tells us about the courts, media and politics of the country. The result is a granular and critical ethnography of Indian democracy over a decade. The war between Maoists and the state in the heart of India Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Soft cover. Condizione: New. Starting from 2005 when a government-sponsored vigilante movement, Salwa Judum, killed hundreds and drove thousands of villagers into camps, to the present day when it is the most militarized area in the country, the war in Bastar in central India has taken a heavy toll on the people of Bastar, the security forces, the Maoists and human rights activists. The fact that it has some of India's biggest mineral reserves has made the conflict even more intense and destroyed Bastar's unique ecology and culture. Based on extensive field visits, court testimonies, government documents and an active participant role in the events she writes about, Nandini Sundar brings alive these issues through real-life stories of villagers, Maoists and security forces. She also tracks the shocking failures of Indian democracy through the responses of political parties, the media, human rights activists and the judiciary to the ongoing crisis.…

Fashioning a postcolonial discipline M.N. Srinivas and Indian sociology/Satish Deshpande. Index. Anthropology and sociology have long histories in India. Yet with the exception of fieldwork experience there is neither much available on the institutional and material contexts of these disciplines nor on the practices of pioneering anthropologists and sociologists. The present book fills an important gap. While the sociology of India is not purely national phenomenon (scholars and centers studying Indian exist outside) and while western theories have been important this book shows that local influences and personalities played a major role in shaping the field. The volume spans a century of life and work from the late nineteenth to the late twentieth century and focuses on scholars with varying research trajectories. However it also shows the threads that bind these scholars their common concern with nation building social reform and the value of science. Combining biography institutional history and critical assessment this book will interest all anthropologists sociologists and South Asianists as well as those interested in intellectual history and biography. 552 pp.…
