Deepening Democracy: Comparative Perspectives on Decentralization, Cooperativism and Self-Managed Development
The Kerala model in the time of Covid19: Rethinking state, society and democracy
Moditva in India: A threat to inclusive growth and democracy
This article examines the model of development and democracy in India under Narendra Modi’s leadership, since May 2014. Three ingredients of the model – a hard-line, pro-business economic policy promising rapid growth; authoritarian governance (purportedly for effective action); and a Hindu nationalist ideology – are assessed in theory and in practice. After considering both the development experience of Gujarat state under Modi (before 2014) and…

The perils of social development without economic growth: The development debacle of Kerala, India
A number of influential experts in the field of international development regard Kerala as a unique model of development because it has been able to achieve exceptional social development in such areas as health, education, and even the demographic transition, despite low economic development and low per capita income. Inverting the model, however, we find that in sharp contrast to the experience of the high-growth economies of Asia, social devel…
A rejoinder
I am happy that my paper on the Kerala model of development (Bulletin of Concerned Asian Scholars 30:1, January-March 1998) has evoked such thoughtful responses from so many (ten in all) well-known scholars. I believe it is symptomatic of the discourse on Kerala that these responses are mostly from the political left although this left does not by any means speak with one voice. I think it is important to mention this as it may explain why it is …
Kathleen Gough and the Indian Revolution
The loss of Kathleen Gough has created an irreparable void in anthropology and diminished humanity as a whole. A distinguished scholar, great humanist, true internationalist, valiant crusader for the rights of the oppressed and the dispossessed, visionary with abiding faith in the creative potential of humans to build a more humane and caring social order, she was also a very warmhearted friend to a large number of people across several continent…
Religious Pluralism and the Theory and Practice of Secularism: Reflections on the Indian Experience
Despite India's long history of religious pluralism and relativistic patterns of thought and its declared policy of creating a secular and democratic society, religious strife has characterised all the major social upheavals in modern India. This paper examines the nature of Indian pluralism and secularism with a view to understanding why and how the two are not as congruent as they are held to be in the West. It focuses special attention on hier…

The penetration of capitalism and Agrarian change in Southwest India, 1901 to 1941: A preliminary analysis
It is now widely recognized that the penetration of a world-wide, capitalist market economy has been a critical process in the transformation of traditional peasant societies. This paper examines some aspects of this process in the erstwhile princely state of Travancore in southwest India, the most important of the three regions that were unified to form the present Malayalam speaking state of Kerala. Today Kerala is well known for its many uniqu…
