“This volume studies accounts of organizations in India that resist the contemporary capitalist order and attempts to imagine alternatives. It provides a series of critical insights on the nature of the political, economic, environmental and social challenges under the current capitalist order in India; how organizations that exist within or outside the capitalist imaginary resist and contest the state quo; and how such organizations imagine an alternative world. Specifically, it traces the histories of capitalist monstrosities through the colonial encounter till today’s neoliberal stage with heightened privatization, corporatization and the nexus of the state and capital. It delineates how neoliberalism creates a crisis of imagination among people. The chapters, in conversation across the book, respond to the paucity of discussions in contemporary social theory on the extraction, exploitation and violence of capitalism in India. Several chapters engage with rising authoritarianism and majoritarianism that accompany the capitalist growth story and all chapters centrally engage with how democracy may become more meaningful, participative and inclusive”–
