What is new is the comprehensive nature of the political assault on academic institutions'-An Interview with Niraja Gopal Jayal
Niraja Gopal Jayal is a professor at the Centre for the Study of Law and Governance at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi. Her research, at the crossroads between political theory and the study of Indian politics, focuses on four main areas: democracy, representation, citizenship and governance (including local governance, and gender and governance). She is presently working on the crisis of the public university in India. Interview…
It's Effective Because It's Affective
The jan sunwai [public hearing] is a new, highly original and increasingly popular form of collective action in today’s India. Being essentially confrontational and dealing mostly with vital issues such as access to work, education and healthcare, the jan sunwai is a participatory dispositive that is characterised by a strong emotional intensity. Focusing on a specific jan sunwai organised in Delhi in 2011, this chapter demonstrates that a situat…
Contentious Emotions
Emotions matter a great deal in politics, in South Asia as elsewhere, because they have the power to mobilise. A growing number of scholarly works show that emotions, both negative (fear, anger, hatred, disgust, grief, sadness, indignation, shame, guilt, resentment) and positive (trust, compassion, love, pride, pleasure, joy) have explanatory power regarding the shape and trajectory of political mobilisations. However, this exciting new literatur…
Emotions, Mobilisations and South Asian Politics
"This book highlights the role of emotions in the contentious politics of modern South Asia. It brings new methodological, theoretical and empirical insights to the mutual constitution of emotions and mobilisations in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. As such, it addresses three distinct but related questions: what do emotions do to mobilisations? What do mobilisations do to emotions? Further, what does studying emotions in mobilisations reveal abo…
Public Hearings as Social Performance
Since the late 1990s, major claims addressed to the Indian state by, or on behalf of, the underprivileged, have been formulated in terms of rights (right to work, to food, etc.). Collective action increasingly addresses the courts as much as governments or legislative assemblies. This paper aims to show, through an analysis of public hearings (jan sunwai in Hindi), that such “legalism” of Indian progressive social movements is at work not only in…
Political representation in India
Democratic theory has recently been marked by a renewed interest in political representation that is manifest in, and proceeds from, a series of theoretical works that radically open up the concept of representation. This introductory article briefly presents some of the key theoretical propositions that are brought forward by this body of literature, but also by anthropological works on South Asia, namely (i) the intrinsic plurality of the meani…

Governing India's Metropolises
Engaging with the Concept of Governance in the Study of Indian Metropolises
The aim of this empirical study is to reflect on urban governance in India’s large metropolitan cities by examining healthcare services in Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai. The objective is not a strict comparison of the cities per se, indeed the data sets available are not identical for the three cities, rather the idea is to use a comparative perspective to tease out general findings about the evolution of supply and demand for a given service in re…
Urban governance and health care provision in Delhi
This paper considers how changes in urban governance in Delhi over the last two decades have influenced the provision of health care services. It begins by describing the introduction of, or return to, elected governments for the National Capital Territory of Delhi and for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. It then discusses public health care, which in effect serves low-income groups as most higher-income groups now use private services, and ho…
Le mouvement de femmes en Inde
Le mouvement des femmes est l’un des grands mouvements sociaux qui animent une société civile indienne caractérisée par sa vitalité1. On peut définir le mouvement indien des femmes (MIF) comme un réseau de groupes et d’individus se mobilisant avec une certaine régularité autour de causes touchant particulièrement les femmes. Ce qui fait du réseau un mouvement, c’est la continuité de son activité des années 1970 à nos jours, même s’il est comme ai…
Des républiques villageoises aux associations de quartier. Généalogie des dispositifs participatifs indiens
Cet article dessine l’itinéraire, en Inde, de l’idée d’une démocratie locale permettant la participation directe des citoyens à la prise de décision. Cette idée est portée par différents leaders et partis politiques, du Mahatma Gandhi (dans les années 1930) à Rajiv Gandhi (dans les années 1990). L’article analyse les fluctuations du contenu de cette idée, et notamment son va-et-vient entre une interprétation « politique » et une interprétation « …

Introduction. Contextualizing and Interpreting the 15th Lok Sabha Elections
Most of the papers presented in this special issue of SAMAJ are the outcome of a workshop organised by the Centre de Sciences Humaines in New Delhi in July 2009. By then the results of the 2009 general elections had been largely commented upon already. The workshop was therefore not meant to discuss electoral results per se, but rather to have specialists discuss papers that considered elections as an analyzer of political dynamics that most auth…
Studying Elections in India
Election studies (which are here defined as scholarly work focusing on the major phases of the electoral process, i.e. the campaign, the vote, the announcement of results and subsequent government formation) constitute a distinct sub-genre of studies on democracy, which focuses, so to speak, on the ‘mechanics’ more than on the ‘substance’ of representative democracy. This sub-genre, being relatively more visible than other studies of representati…
Les femmes et le pouvoir exécutif en Inde
Au-delà d’Indira Gandhi, Premier ministre de la plus grande démocratie du monde durant seize années, un nombre non négligeable de femmes ont occupé des fonctions exécutives de premier plan, que ce soit au niveau de l’Union indienne ou des États fédérés. À travers le repérage de quelques tendances - combien de femmes ont-elles eu accès à des fonctions exécutives majeures depuis l’indépendance ? Qui sont ces femmes, et quelles ressources politiques…
