Over the past few decades, India has experienced a sudden and spectacular urban transformation. Gleaming business complexes encroach on fields and villages. Giant condominium communities offer gated security, indoor gyms, and pristine pools. Spacious, airconditioned malls have sprung up alongside open-air markets. This volume examines India's booming developments and offers a nuanced ethnographic treatment of late capitalism.
