520			_aThe Great Indian Middle Class by Pavan K. Varma examines the emergence, values, aspirations, and influence of India's expanding middle class in the post-independence era. Through a critical and thought-provoking analysis, the author explores its social, political, economic, and cultural impact, highlighting the contradictions between its ideals and practices. Addressing issues such as consumerism, governance, ethics, and national identity, the book offers valuable insights into the role of the middle class in shaping modern India and its future development. An Essential Read, This Fresh Edition Updated with A New Introduction Analyses the Transformation of the Middle Class in the Decade Since 1997 And Seeks to Reconcile the Seemingly Dichotomous Aspects of Our Economy and Polity.
