description |
In contemporary postcolonial India, states, ethnic groups, elites and marginalized people
are rearticulating identities in relation to transnational forces. Neoliberal capital and
globalization have produced new forms of the ‘politics of culture’1 including: redefinitions
of ethnic identities in the context of late capitalism; changing politics around caste;
the increasing prominence of Hindu nationalism; and digital media producing new youth
identities. To understand these complex social changes, and their historical trajectories, an
understanding of the experiences and perspectives of young people is crucial. The articles
collected in this special issue are focused on children’s lives in historical and contemporary
India, but were informed and enriched by broader discussions about childhood across
the South Asian region at an interdisciplinary conference held at The Australian National
University in 2013. |
