About the Book

Development Failure and Identity Politics in Uttar Pradesh provides a qualitative, in-depth understanding of development failures and identity politics in Uttar Pradesh (UP). It investigates neoliberal change and political transformation in India through the lens of UP, India's largest and, by some measures, poorest state. It examines the connection between transitions in the contemporary economy of India and transformations in politics from the standpoint of UP. The book demonstrates how an understanding of dynamics in UP might provide new perspective on issues such as the state, the civil society, caste, democracy and social impact of economic reforms--issues that are the subject of vigorous debate in India as a whole.

Review :
[The book] provides a qualitative understanding of development failures and identity politics in the state of Uttar Pradesh (UP)... an important addition to the study of Indian Politics at grassroots... it examines neo-liberal change and political transformation in India through the lens of UP and the link between shift in contemporary economy of India and change in politics from the perspective of UP...the contributions to this book not only highlights this mismatch between formal and substantive democratization, but also looks into the lived consistencies of life in Uttar Pradesh.--Social Action, Vol 65 [The book] is highly scholarly and the conclusions drawn have the caution becoming of academics...a valuable addition to the study of Indian politics at grassroots.--The Hindu
