About the Book: The Heart of the Matter: Development, Identity and Violence -
Reconfiguring the Debate
The Volume addresses the complex relationship between Development, Identity and
Violence from different dimensions. It explores the ideas of development beyond
its appearances and devlves deeper into its essence. India has been a site of
tumultuous changes in recent times as a consequence of its shift towards
neoliberalism. This shift has not only introduced a new framework of development
but has also produced its side effects. Chapters in this volume make an effort
to critically engage with these issues trying to reconfigure the ongoing debates
on development.
