About the Book:
This insightful book explores the concept of the Indian village within both its historical and contemporary contexts. It offers an in-depth examination of how the idea of the village has ideologically interacted with the state, unraveling the reasons why this notion holds considerable analytical and theoretical significance in Indian sociology. The work delves into the ideological and political implications of the village, emphasizing how the state plays a crucial role in its construction.
Rather than being viewed as a pre-given social entity, the book argues that the Indian village is constituted through specific discourses and practices shaped by the state. The state’s presence is palpable in the way the village is constructed, making the nexus between the state and the village even more complex. This relationship is both uncanny and crucial to understanding the dynamics at play within rural India.
Through a comprehensive analysis, this book sheds light on the intricate interaction between the state and the village, offering readers a unique perspective on the political and social ramifications of rural development and its ideological interpretations. The work is indispensable for those interested in understanding the complex interplay between politics, society, and rural India.
Manish Thakur, the author, is an accomplished academic with expertise in political sociology and development studies. With a background at the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta, and Goa University, Thakur’s research contributes extensively to understanding rural development, political culture, social movements, and public policy. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars and students interested in rural sociology, development studies, and the political landscape of India.
