Developmental State and the Dalit Question in Madhya Pradesh: Congress Response
Autor Sudha Paien Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 ian 2016
The present study puts to test the limits of the model of state-led development, of the use of political power by an enlightened political elite to introduce change from above to address the weaker sections of society. The working of the state is thus analysed in the context of the society in which it is embedded and the former’s ability to insulate itself from powerful vested interests. In interrogating this state-led redistributive paradigm, the study has generated empirical data based on extensive fieldwork and brought to the fore both the potentials and the limitations of using the model of ‘development from above’ in a democracy. It suggests that the absence of an upsurge from below limits the ability of an enlightened political elite that mans the developmental state to introduce social change and help the weaker sections of society.

Descriere
This book examines the Madhya Pradesh government’s attempt to win Dalit and tribal support by introducing change from above in a period of intense identity assertion, and suggests that limited success achieved through land distribution and supplier diversification was a fallout of the absence of an upsurge from below.
