Pirate Modernity
Using Delhi’s contemporary history as a site for reflection, Pirate Modernity moves from a detailed discussion of the technocratic design of the city by US planners in the 1950s, to the massive expansions after 1977, culminating in the urban crisis of the 1990s. As a practice, pirate modernity is an illicit form of urban globalization. Poorer urban populations increasingly inhabit non-legal spheres: unauthorized neighborhoods, squatter camps and bypass legal technological infrastructures (media, electricity). This pirate culture produces a significant enabling resource for subaltern populations unable to enter the legal city. Equally, this is an unstable world, bringing subaltern populatio...
Pirate Modernity
Focusing on the culture of piracy in the Indian capital, this book looks at what has happened to the city in the wake of the dissemination of the new media and the ways in which it has, and will, affect urban cultures in an age of globalization.
The Great Tamasha
On a Bangalore night in April 2008, cricket and India changed forever. It was the first night of the Indian Premier League – cricket, but not as we knew it. It involved big money, glitz, prancing girls and Bollywood stars. It was not so much sport as tamasha: a great entertainment. The Great Tamasha examines how a game and a country, both regarded as synonymous with infinite patience, managed to produce such an event. James Astill explains how India's economic surge and cricketing obsession made it the dominant power in world cricket, off the field if rarely on it. He tells how cricket has become the central focus of the world's second-biggest nation: the place where power and money and ce...

Break Up
'Padhle Beta, pyaar wyar ke chakkar mei parega to kahi ka nai rahega – If you study, you will have a good future.' This is a claim often repeated to children and teenagers by parents and teachers in many parts of India. They often forget that there is also a world beyond studies, a world of creative pursuit and more than it. My higher education and further career thoughts have been completely haunting me. There is no polite, polished way of saying this: studying from one of the best schools in my area with the most chosen stream in the district has not yet benefitted me in any way! Many of us are either forced or brainwashed to choose any stream after school by our parents, who are labouring under the illusion that correct stream is the gateway to money and success. I always had a doubt; but now, years after studying and still, I know for sure that studying what we like and doing what we enjoy may not always lead to money and success but it is definitely the route to happiness.
