Rethinking Marxism: India From A Class Perspective

This non-fiction collection of essays examines how class shapes contemporary India’s economy and society, while proposing a new, context-aware approach to Marxist theory. Geared toward adults—students and professionals in economics, sociology, political science, and policy—and written in a thoughtful, rigorous, and hopeful tone, this educational book invites readers to explore postcapitalist possibilities grounded in Indian experience. Content is presented as a closely argued, cross-disciplinary exploration that blends economic analysis, social theory, and ethical reflection. The essays illuminate how class relations condition development, labor, and governance, and they examine how Indian experiences can revise and extend Marxist tenets rather than repeat established dogmas. Reading experience is engaging and distinctive: accessible yet dense, with clear explanations of concepts and a willingness to challenge received wisdom. The narrative moves from macro questions about global capitalism to grounded, everyday realities, helping readers connect theory with policy, practice, and lived life. It offers a practical framework for analyzing inequality, development, and democracy through a class-focused lens. - Theoretical frameworks rooted in class analysis and critique of capitalist development - Interdisciplinary approach spanning economics, sociology, and political philosophy -
