Publisher description
The moral and political challenge of mass poverty and its potential
solution in the diffusion of economic democracy at the grass roots level are
among the major reasons for developing a serious understanding of the role of
local elites in rural development. The author explores the attitudes of local
elites in the rural setting of India towards protest and participation in
development. His analysis is based on methods through which they intervene in
the process of development, and are in turn affected by it. Local elite groups
are the hinge between the state and rural society. Therefore, this original and
unrivalled study provides not only a detailed and thoroughly documented account
of the development process, but also illuminates and redefines arguments about
the nature of the state, and state legitimacy. The attitudes of local elites - the hinge between Indian state and rural
society - towards protest and participation in development and illuminates
arguments about the nature of the state as well as the development process.
