The Measure of Time in the Appraisal of Social Reality

Coming on the eve of the Indian elections of 2009, The Measure of Time in the Appraisal of Social Reality is an explosive exposé of what went wrong in Indian developmental planning. Focusing on land, caste, and gender issues, and advocating a place-time-people based research agenda, Measure of Time is a scathing critique of how the nexus between politics and academic neo-colonialism has subverted the cause of genuine development in India.
