The Making of India, 1947-2022
India stands as a beacon of hope and resilience in Asia, as a thriving democracy, a secular republic, and a growing economic power. This book captures the contributions of important people, events, and institutions that have shaped India in its 75 years as an independent country. Each entry is a captivating stand-alone story which traces the genesis and importance of the subject's contribution. Sharp insights, analyses, and questions of “what if?” pepper the entries, prompting the reader to think deeper. Together, they represent the kaleidoscope that is modern India, making up a fascinating mosaic of the myriad influences that have made India a liberal democracy and a plural society. This book would be of interest primarily to academics, scholars, and university students, but especially to young people, civil service aspirants, and researchers who would find a compendium of this kind useful in garnering a nuanced understanding of the history of independent India.
India Is Broken
A provocative new account of how India moved relentlessly from its hope-filled founding in 1947 to the dramatic economic and democratic breakdowns of today. When Indian leaders first took control of their government in 1947, they proclaimed the ideals of national unity and secular democracy. Through the first half century of nation-building, leaders could point to uneven but measurable progress on key goals, and after the mid-1980s, dire poverty declined for a few decades, inspiring declarations of victory. But today, a vast majority of Indians live in a state of underemployment and are one crisis away from despair. Public goods—health, education, cities, air and water, and the judiciary...

Routledge Handbook of Indian Transnationalism
This book introduces readers to the many dimensions of historical and contemporary Indian transnationalism and the experiences of migrants and workers to reveal the structures of transnationalism and the ways in which Indian origin groups are affected. The concept of crossing borders emerges as an important theme, along with the interweaving of life in geographic and web spaces. The authors draw from a variety of archives and intellectual perspectives in order to map the narratives of Indian transnationalism and analyse the interplay of culture and structures within transnational contexts. The topics covered range from the history of transnational networks, activism, identity, gender, politics, labour, policy, performance, literature and more. This collection presents a wide array of issues and debates which will reinvigorate discussions about Indian transnationalism. This handbook will be an invaluable resource for academics, researchers, and students interested in studying South Asia in general and the Indian diaspora in particular.
Musik und Migration
Musik und Migration bedingen einander substanziell. Musik selbst ist beweglich: als Kunstform, als Ware, auf Datenspeichern, als Wissen und Können migrierender Musiker_innen und als Erinnerungsanker von Menschen mit Migrationserfahrungen. Das in den kultur- und kunstwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen schon seit Langem existierende Interesse für das Wechselverhältnis zwischen den Kunst- und Migrationsphänomenen wurde durch aktuelle Fluchtbewegungen neu angefacht und inspiriert. Das vorliegende Handbuch stellt theoretische und methodische Grundlagen des Forschungsfeldes Musik und Migration gebündelt dar und lotet deren Potenzial für zukünftige Projekte aus.
Das gespaltene Indien
Indien als »neue Supermacht« rückt in den Fokus der westlichen Wirtschaft – auch als Alternative zu China. Der renommierte Ökonom Ashoka Mody sieht diese Hoffnungen kritisch und stellt den Wachstumshype um Indien in Frage. Trotz vieler Reformversprechen seit der Unabhängigkeit 1947 und anhaltendem Wirtschaftsboom kann nur eine kleine Elite vom Wohlstand profitieren und ein großer Teil der Inderinnen und Inder lebt in Armut. Unterbeschäftigung, schlechte Bildung und ein marodes Gesundheitssystem belasten die Bevölkerung. In der Politik herrschen Korruption und Egoismus vor. Mit der Hindutva-Ideologie erstarkt ein zunehmend gewalttätiger Nationalismus. Ashoka Mody präsentiert eine ...
Migration Matters
International migration remains the orphan child of globalization. Rapid development from the last quarter of the twentieth century has resulted in a world more unequal than ever before. Mobility of people needs to be understood as the natural corollary to international trade and capital. Sustaining global economic growth rates and progressing towards an equitable global order will be predicated substantially on the free movement of people. Transnational economic migration will be the next frontier of globalization. There is urgent need to move to a rule-based, binding set of principles that would require states to willingly cede some degree of their sovereignty on matters of economic migration to a multilateral process. Failure to do so will likely generate conflict of an order that can jeopardize the very basis of a modern, progressive and democratic future for all. This book tells an interesting storyâof development as seen from the lens of mobilityâof how important migration has been, is, and will increasingly be for human development.
