An Empirical Study

This is an anthology put together by the London and Sussex based Filippo-Caroline Osella team of anthropologists both having a keen research interest in South Asia. Seventeen articles arranged under four parts titled Reformist Journeys, Debating Reform, Everyday Politics of Reform, and Reform, State and Market. All of the contributors except Colombo University’s Farzana Hanifa and Arshad Alam of New Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia are academics working in various western countries—most of them at prestigious institutions in the UK.
