Funded Activity Summary

Mediated Mobility: India's Low Caste Revolution in the Media Age. In recent years Australia has shown a keen interest in India's evolution as a global power. This project seeks to deepen our national understanding by focusing on a key socio-cultural dimension of this evolution: the emergence through multiple media of lower caste voices in democratic politics and cultural practices in India. Through its study of lower castes' innovative use of print, electronic and digital media in effecting social and political change in this era of technological innovation and economic growth, the project highlights both the possibilities and limits of India's growth. Significantly, it contributes to building Australia's research capacity in the study of India and South Asia, an area in critical need of renewal.
