Algorithmic Governance and Postcoloniality
The concept of algorithmic governance is increasingly being used to make sense of rapid technological transformations of governance practices globally. This paper outlines three key dynamics that underpin the dominant literature on algorithmic governance, that is social ordering through digital veillance, reduced negotiability via roboprocesses, and dependency‐led compliance. Analyzing Kerala's experiment with AI traffic cameras along these three…
Teaching Sociology and Invoking Sociological Imagination in Neoliberal Times
This paper draws from the authors’ experiences of teaching sociology and social anthropology in academic institutions in India and the possibilities and predicaments they entail. Cultivating the sociological imagination has been at the heart of pedagogical practices in social anthropology; however, in the new, neoliberalized and privatized higher education spaces, invoking this link between individual and society is increasingly becoming challeng…
The dialectics of discretion in algorithmic governance and smart policing
While algorithmic systems today are transforming state practices globally, their everyday manifestations vary in particularistic contexts. Drawing from discourse analysis, interviews and documentation of state initiatives introducing algorithmic systems in Kerala, India, this paper analyses the effect of algorithmic infrastructures on the practices of discretion within the police force. In this regard, I propose that a dialectical framing of disc…

Design/methodology/approach This paper brings together data drawn from an ethnographic study of two police stations in India and feminist literature on women’s…
Police interactions in post-colonial India
Purpose The paper aims to relocate discussions on police stops and police interactions from the Anglophone world to the particularistic context of the post-colonial state of India. The paper further frames the everyday policing practices in a theoretical dialog between questions of legitimacy, accountability and tolerated illegalities. For that purpose, the author contextualizes the discussion in the post-colonial state of India, in the jurisdict…
Combating Capitalism
This paper traces the trajectory of left governments in Kerala, as against that of the government of India, in the context of Indian federalism, and Kerala government’s more recent resistance to the political right-wing upsurge in the state, to draw out strategies and patterns through which left governments in Kerala have survived and persistently deployed socialist policies. In doing so, the paper tries to understand both twenty-first-century ca…
