Imprints of the Populist Time

Focusing on the evolution of populism within the context of neoliberalism, this analysis explores its historical significance and contemporary implications in West Bengal post-2011. It examines how populism addresses the crisis of representation by centering the subaltern and redefining citizenship. The narrative delves into various aspects of populism, including its electoral strategies, language, and economic logic, while posing critical questions about its relationship with democracy and nationalism. This work is essential for scholars, students, and anyone interested in Indian politics and governance.
