Summary: This is a volume we are co-publishing with TISS. The volume is on the socio-economic-political conditions of contemporary Bihar. It tries to find answers to questions such as: Whether Nitish Kumar's model of development is devoid of social justice? Is this re-elitisation of politics? Why did the development state, symbolised by vikaspurush Nitish Kumar, retract on its promises of tenancy reforms? Is the restoration of bureaucracy not responsible for raising the scale of corruption? Did restoration of law and order and the model of development carry an inherent inclination to satisfy middle class sense of security and sensibilities?
