Abstract

Critiques of neoliberal reforms in India have not been very nuanced or sophisticated. The volumes under discussion in this review essay are a response to such a state of affairs, and ground their discussions surrounding neoliberalism in India in specific sites, concerns and issues. They devote their attention to understanding the ways in which the projects and practices of neoliberal reforms are realised on the ground. The aim seems to trace the emergent, complex history of the neoliberal present in India, and the volumes can inform debates surrounding the socio-cultural imbrications of neoliberal reforms across the globe.
