"In this book, Das presents a class-based perspective on
the economic and political situation in contemporary India in a globalizing
world. It deals with the specificities of India's capitalism and neoliberalism,
as well as poverty/inequality, geographically uneven development, technological
change, and export-oriented, nature-dependent production. The book also deals
with Left-led struggles in the form of the Naxalite/Maoist movement and trade-union
strikes, and presents a non-sectarian Left critique ofthe Left. It also
discusses the politics of the Right expressed as fascistic tendencies, and the
question of what is to be done. The book applies abstract theoretical ideas to
the concrete situation in India, which, in turn, inspires rethinking of theory.
Das unabashedly shows the relevance of class theory that takes seriously the
matter of oppression/domination of religious minorities and lower castes"--
