Kantala comes to the clinic
Omkarlal’s window
Clinical Suspicion
By tracing the growth and expansion of a clinic in a small Dalit and Adivasi community in rural Rajasthan, this paper describes the felt incongruences of developmental progress. It engages critical social science literatures about development’s linear narrative form and its potential for technological depoliticisation, to show that even as institutions grow, politics persist around what a developed health system should do. It tracks suspicion as …
Implementation strategies to increase the uptake and impact of molecular WHO-recommended rapid diagnostic tests
Breathless
Each year in India more than two million people fall sick with tuberculosis (TB), an infectious, airborne, and potentially deadly lung disease. The country accounts for almost 30 percent of all TB cases worldwide and well above a third of global deaths from it. Because TB's prevalence also indicates unfulfilled development promises, its control is an important issue of national concern, wrapped up in questions of postcolonial governance. Drawing …

Dr. Ram's triage
Triage is a process of categorizing potential health and guiding care. It is based on the idea that all bodies are equal while potential vitality is not. I examine the triage processes used by Indian physicians as they collaborated with global health researchers to identify patients for a free, cutting-edge tuberculosis test. As I argue, triage forms and reforms social difference within global health despite its aspirations of standardization and…
Mohit's Pharmakon
This article reexamines medical anthropology theories of symptom, illness, and disease to consider unregulated medical care in India. It builds on clinical observations, an inventory of the pharmaceuticals used by men who call themselves "Bengali doctors," and their patients to understand medical care in a context that privileges symptom not disease. It draws on Derrida's use of pharmakon to outline the complexities of care and embodiment and hel…

Making the global equivalent
Echoing Silence
I examine the conceptual trajectory of 'backwardness' in policy, politics and rural life to understand the term's many uses in India. I examine links forged between backwardness and governance in colonial and post-colonial commissions and committees charged with assessing and affecting Indian democracy. Multiple commissions add confusion and ambiguity, setting a variable tone of backwardness in contemporary policies, citizens' experience and clai…
Outward FDI and the Investment Development Path of a Late-industrializing Economy
B ARRY F., G oRG H. and M CDOWELL A. (2003) Outward FDI and the investment development path of a late-industrializing economy: evidence from Ireland, Reg. Studies 37 , 341-349. The Investment Development Path (IDP) hypothesis holds that a country's net outward direct investment position is systematically related to its level of economic development. Ireland is an interesting test case because of the importance of inward foreign direct investment …
