Since its inception, the Indian model of development has the twin objectives of economic development and social justice woven together. This has shaped both policy and popular aspiration in post-Independence India. In this context, Democratizing Development: Struggles for Rights and Social Justice in India explores and analyses how development gets vitiated by multiple powers and subverts the democratic ideals of participation, equality, inclusion, redistribution and equity, and how the poor and socially marginalized struggle to make development democratic. Examining development through the lens of the most marginalized, the book shows the democratic potential of development as well as the result of its absence.

Die Schrift erzählt den Kampf der Farmer im Mwea-Reisanbaugebiet um ihre Rechte. Die Farmer des in Kolonialzeiten angelegten Bewässerungsprojekts wurden von der kenianischen Politik und Verwaltung systematisch unterdrückt. Die Landbesitzverhältnisse widersprechen menschenrechtlichen Bestimmungen; sozioökonomisch wurden die Farmer niedergehalten, politisch und administrativ schikaniert. Armut, so folgert der Bericht, ist nicht das Ergebnis apolitischer wirtschaftlicher Kräfte, sondern häufig das Ergebnis einer zielgerichteten Politik, die den Status quo bewahren soll. (DÜI-Sbd)

AbstractDrawing upon interviews with individuals in Pakistan who cannot be identified as heterosexual or be contained by the gender binary, I argue that in recent years post-colonial legacies of colonial laws have been challenged in Pakistan in ways that suggest a complicated relationship among sexuality, gender, and modernity. I draw upon Partha Chatterjee's notion of political society to situate this relationship. As such, I seek to strengthen prior discussions located in India and Pakistan. Further, this article challenges the problematic assumptions in mainstream queer politics that Muslim societies are static and ahistorical assumptions that appear to assume progress and struggle for sexual rights to be a Western attribute. In so doing, I extend earlier critiques arguing for a more complex understanding of the rule of non-normative sexualities in Muslim societies and suggest that colonial policies that regulated and criminalized the more fluid forms of sexuality in Muslim societies were incorporated in the imperial project of civilizing non-European cultures. The stability of colonial policies regarding sexuality was challenged in 2009 when the Pakistani state gave political recognition to trans* communities, identifying them as citizens of a modern state. These changes, I argue, pave the way for a potential shift from the fluid sexuality and irreverence that khwaja sara are usually associated with middle-class norms of respectability and encouragement towards assimilation into the social order.
