Delve into the intricate workings of Indian bureaucracy and the Indian state during a pivotal era. This book offers a fresh perspective on corruption in India, examining ‘everyday’ citizen interactions with local governance and police in Uttar Pradesh from the 1930s to the 1960s. It challenges conventional views by exploring how entrenched customs and social hierarchies influenced state-citizen relations, transforming the meaning of corruption during India’s colonial past and post-independence period. A must-read for scholars of Indian history, South Asian studies, and political science seeking deep insights into Indian society.
