    Structural change in employment in India since 1980s: How Lewisian is it?

    No full text
    Indian economy shows high levels of growth and per capita income in recent years accompanied by an unprecedented shift of labour from agriculture to non-agriculture during the last decade. Reallocation of labour from ‘traditional’ to ‘modern’ segments in an economy having large surplus labour was conceived in the Lewisian framework as the process by way of which both accumulation of capital and exhaustion of surplus labour takes place. This paper argues that the structural change in employment in India that results from the exclusionary nature of the growth process hardly approximates the Lewisian trajectory. Finally, in the context of globalisation this paper explains the responses of firms of various size categories in non-agriculture and argues that the shift in employment basically expands the ‘reserve army of labour’ in the Marxian sense instead of exhaustion of surplus labour conceived in Lewisian conjectures.growth, employment, non-agriculture, structural change,reserve army of labour

    Geographical Imaginations: Literature and the ‘Spatial Turn’ by Indranil Acharya and Ujjwal Kumar Panda

    No full text
    The publication of the book Geographical Imaginations: Literature and the Spatial Turn co-authored by Indranil Acharya and Ujjwal Kumar Panda is timely and significant in view of the fact that, despite the emergence of geocriticism as a modern critical framework in contemporary times, there has been little application of spatial concepts in the field of literary studies. Tracking the latest developments in geocriticism, the book straddles texts belonging to British, American, Indian English, Dalit and subaltern literatures while engaging with the romantic, the realist, the modernist, the postmodernist and the postcolonial perspectives. The depth and immediacy of the book is evinced by its sustained endeavour to navigate the depths of ‘social space’ and relate that fictional social space to the realities of life
