By exploring both continuities and discontinuities in social mobilisation and dissident agency, the authors highlight a diverse insurrectional pattern, including issues surrounding caste, class, religion, land reform, labor, taxation, and territorial control. The anti-colonial movements of the early twentieth century are examined as pivotal moments in India's history of social unrest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the authors go beyond this historical context to examine more recent trends in mobilisation, particularly during the post-liberalisation period. As India’s economy opened up and technological advancements surged, the country began to position itself as a 'New India,' aspiring to become a global player in the technological sphere. These shifts in social relations, cultural exchange, and economic opportunities spurred new forms of protest and dissent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn particular, this book explores the rise of digitised dissidence in recent years, focusing on how technological advancements and the growing influence of the internet have shaped contemporary protest movements. By tracing the trajectory of social movements in India, the authors provide fresh insights into new forms of resistance, offering a valuable resource for those interested in South Asian and Indian history, social movements, and postcolonial studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book's case studies and thematic discussions offer a nuanced understanding of how popular dissent in India has evolved in the face of historical and contemporary challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49992497037616,"sku":"DRG.RawatPublications_9783031469497","price":1037.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/Social_Movements_Media_and_Civil_Society_in_Contemporary_India.jpg?v=1756465150","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/social-movements-media-and-civil-society-in-contemporary-india-historical-trajectories-of-public-protest-and-political-mobilisation","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
