Descriere
The
post-liberalization
era
of
the
Indian
economy
has
given
birth
to
a
burgeoning
middle
class
who
has
gained
increasing
prominence
in
the
political
and
cultural
imagination
of
the
nation.
Many
erstwhile
scholars
have
attempted
to
concretely
define
the
size
and
scope
of
the
middle
class
in
India
only
to
accede
to
the
extraordinary
variety
of
people
living
in
multiple
socio-economic
circumstances,
identifying
with
this
class.
This
book
thus
explores
what
being
middleclass
means
to
those
who
claim
to
belong
to
this
class.
Drawing
on
ethnographic
material
from
the
South
Indian
city
of
Hyderabad,
the
author
highlights
the
centrality
of
moral
discourses
in
the
production
of
class
and
gender
in
urban
India.
She
explores
school
education
patterns,
shifting
marriageideals,
and
youth
cultures
such
as
dating
and
fashion
to
understand
the
new
middle
class
world
view.
This
world
view,
the
work
asserts,
is
built
around
developing
cosmopolitan
sensibilities
within
traditional
caste-class
and
gender
boundaries.
The
work
also
looks
at
the
power
of
such
a
world
view
to
naturalize
and
legitimize
gender
and
class-caste
hierarchies.
