Description

This Routledge publication examines why class analysis has diminished as a framework for understanding social change in South Asia, despite its historical importance in explaining life chances and political dynamics. The book addresses a critical puzzle: as global economic forces have widened gaps between classes and across sectors and regions, and altered people's relationships to production, class has lost its analytical centrality. The author explores whether market triumphalism and identity politics have rendered class irrelevant, or whether rapid economic growth has simply obscured its continued significance. Drawing on regional scholarship that has contributed substantially to broader class theory, this work reassesses class as a lens for understanding contemporary South Asian societies and their political economies, making it essential reading for scholars of anthropology, sociology, and South Asian studies seeking to understand how inequality and social differentiation continue to shape the region.
