内容説明・目次

内容説明

The state of Uttar Pradesh -- India's most populous, but also one of its poorest -- is in crisis, lagging behind the rest of the country in terms of social development, economic growth, and womens empowerment, with inefficient and ineffective democratic institutions. In this timely book, established scholars and new voices from Europe reflect on aspects of the perilous condition of UP, addressing a range of issues, all drawing on intensive and extended fieldwork. What used to be UPs strength has turned into its weakness. Its position in India as the quintessential Indian state -- is unique, but no specific UP-identity has been developed. In papers discussing peoples own perceptions of core social and political issues, local ideas of what is needed for development are discussed. Gender relations are a central concern of two papers, one on customary marriage and divorce practices at village level and the other on changing notions of education for girls and the images of the UP plains held by those in the hills. Other papers deal with the social bases and ideology of the separatist movement in the UP hills; with Dalits and farmers, and the political organisations aiming to represent their interests; with farmers, and how far the BKU is articulating their demands in western UP; and with how Jats in western UP are changing the way they maintain their dominance. The two final papers discuss how modern mass media -- TV and newspapers -- are shaping developments in UP. The book -- a major advance in our understanding of contemporary patterns of social change in UP -- will be essential reading for concerned citizens, students and academics alike.
