| Popis: | Indian independence in 1947 came in the context of uneven capitalist development. The postcolonial state’s nation-building agenda included social justice and socialism, and modernization following western models for triggering ‘internal colonialisms’, thus increasing erstwhile inequalities on different geographical scales. Marathwada subregion, which has a feudal background, was integrated into the Indian Republic in 1948. The movement Marathwada Janata Vikas Aandolan (MJVA), which emerged in the 1960s, comprised a series of campaigns and protests organized by propertied classes, trading classes and students. Exclusion from mainstream agendas of development in the context of aspirations for a democratic way of life and muted democratic institutions led these actors to challenge predominant definitions of development, democracy and nationalism. This article uses the MJVA example and moves beyond the framework of conflict and underscores complex articulations of global, national, regional and local to analyse collective action. It argues that the processes related to modernity, reflexivity and identity formation are combined to shape the movement against exclusion and marginalization. |
