Part of Oxford India Short IntroductionsSurinder S. Jodhka &#38; Aseem PrakashWho exactly are the middle classes in India? What role do they play in contemporary Indian politics and society, and what are their historical and cultural moorings? The authors of this volume argue that the middle class has largely been understood as an ‘income/ economic category’, but the term has a broader social and conceptual history, globally as well as in India. It is this conceptual and social history of the Indian middle class that the book analytically elaborates.https://india.oup.com/product/the-indian-middle-class-9780199466795?
