About the Book
This thought-provoking volume explores the complex relationship between globalization and social inequality in post-liberalization India. Based on papers presented at the National Seminar on Structural Transformation and Development in Post-liberalization India, the book offers a critical analysis of the liberalization process and its far-reaching impact on the social fabric of the country.

Bringing together essays from leading Indian academics, the book delves into the structural transformations occurring in caste, class, and gender dynamics. It also examines the emergence of new social movements amid a market-driven economy, the evolving interplay of culture and religion under liberalized policies, and the shifts in development politics and social change.

Key issues such as rising inequality, poverty, and the informalization of the labor market are addressed in depth, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted outcomes of globalization in India.
