| << The way research is read today is changing rapidly. The digital turn tends to democratise access to scholarship but it also questions the way we understand the practice of reading from cover to cover, bringing us to reimagine the materiality of print and they way we build personal libraries. Below are the files and catalogue index of an e-library revolving around politics in South Asia and beyond. The folder is password-protected to comply with copyright regulations. The directory index is updated occasionally. |
I showcase here textual and visual gems of a geek mixed methods ethnography in political science and sociology, focusing mainly on educated youth, representation and political becoming in contemporary India. The repository gravitates around a monograph in preparation on campus activism and Indian democracy, and introduces the curated material of an archival exhibition on student politics. I have a growing interest in text analysis and the study of populist speeches. Content is open access.
