Longing for an Elsewhere is about the colonial ancestry of India's contemporary embrace of economic development. Unlike existing scholarship that traces the emergence of the developmental state to the mid-twentieth century process of decolonization, it argues that these origins are anchored in the preoccupation of local colonial elites with emulating industrialization in Europe and the United States. Beyond re-periodizing the birth of development discourse, the book argues that culture actively shapes a putatively economic process such as development. Specifically, it examines the chief cultural factors that guided the princely state of Mysore's endeavours for achieving development during its period of British indirect rule (1881-1947). Historians and social scientists have tended to overlook semi-autonomous polities in colonial India like Mysore that were neither fully colonized nor independent. The Mysore state elite took advantage of their political semi-autonomy, afforded by British indirect rule, to initiate a range of development programs. Drawing on a wide breadth of under-explored archival evidence, the book shows that the elite used a creative amalgam of diverse strands of European thought and Indian culture to forge state development practice in colonial India. Gowda analyzes the institutional dynamics of three elite-led state projects: the Bhadravati Iron Works, the Village Improvement Scheme, and the Block System of Irrigation. In doing so, he argues that the state's support for these projects can be explained by a belief in the inevitability of industrial modernity and a claim for recognition of Mysore's capacity for progress. Examining the operation of this cultural logic allows us to theorize the developmental state, a type of state often found in formerly colonized societies and deserving of independent analytical attention by social theorists. Interdisciplinary in nature, the book draws from debates in sociology, history, and anthropology.

Getting accurate data on less developed countries has created great problems for studying these areas. Yet until recently students of development economics have relied on standard econometrics texts, which assume a Western context. Econometrics and Data Analysis for Developing Countries solves this problem. It will be essential reading for all advanced students of development economics.

The tribal areas of central and eastern India have been under the intractable shadow of left-wing extremism in recent years, fuelling a serious internal crisis in the country. While the clashes between the Maoists and the State have been highlighted by the media, academics and others, the situation of the people caught between the crossfire has often been overlooked. Kindling of an Insurrection provides a gripping account of the lives of people in the conflict-affected district of Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal as experienced by a District Collector. By focusing on the plight of the people of Junglemahals — the term for the forested areas of the region — the author draws attention to the harsh living conditions, unstable occupations and almost non-existent education, highlighting the people’s lack of access to developmental schemes implemented by the government and non-governmental organisations. Based on extensive tour notes, the narrative attempts a subtle balance between a personal diary and official documentation, bringing to fore complexities, challenges and dynamics of the ground reality as also the administrative work carried out in the region. Accompanied by photographs, this book offers a rare chronicle of life in rural West Bengal, exposing the roots of the alienation of marginalised tribal communities, and the circumstances leading to the rise of an insurrection within the nation’s heartland. Authoritative and lucid, the book will be indispensable for scholars and researchers in the areas of public administration, social work, development studies, social anthropology and politics. It will also prove useful to policy makers, journalists and the general reader interested in West Bengal and left-wing extremism.
In Freedom with Violence, Chandan Reddy develops a new paradigm for understanding race, sexuality, and national citizenship. He examines a crucial contradiction at the heart of modernity: the nation-state’s claim to provide freedom from violence depends on its systematic deployment of violence against peoples perceived as nonnormative and irrational. Reddy argues that the modern liberal state is organized as a “counterviolence” to race even as, and precisely because, race persists as the condition of possibility for the modern subject. Rejecting liberal notions of modernity as freedom from violence or revolutionary ideas of freedom through violence, Reddy contends that liberal modernity is a structure for authorizing state violence. Contemporary neoliberal societies link freedom to the notion of legitimate (state) violence and produce narratives of liberty that tie rights and citizenship to institutionalized violence. To counter these formulations, Reddy proposes an alternative politics of knowledge grounded in queer of color critique and critical ethnic studies. He uses issues that include asylum law and the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy to illustrate this major rethinking of the terms of liberal modernity.

This work provides essential guidance to the youth of today, giving them solid framework and practical tools to unlock their greater potential. The practices described in this work help avoid costly mistakes early in life. The technical details contained in this book have been largely unknown by the general population, and have often been well kept by a handful of esoteric yogic traditions. I have carefully distilled a useful subset of these practices in an easily accessible and practical manner. I hope readers will find this work valuable, practical, and usable in their day to day lives. This is a critical yogic work based on a sub-school of the Himalayan pāśupatya samayācāra tradition of Yoga called "pratyabhij ātmaka".
