Folk performances reflect the life-worlds of a vast section of subaltern communities in India. What is the philosophy that drives these performances, the vision that enables as well as enslaves these communities to present what they feel, think, imagine, and want to see? Can such performances challenge social hierarchies and ensure justice in a caste-ridden society? In Cultural Labour, the author studies bhuiyan puja (land worship), bidesia (theatre of migrant labourers), Reshma-Chuharmal (Dalit ballads), dugola (singing duels) from Bihar, and the songs and performances of Gaddar, who was associated with Jana Natya Mandali, Telangana: he examines various ways in which meanings and behaviour are engendered in communities through rituals, theatre, and enactments. Focusing on various motifs of landscape, materiality, and performance, the author looks at the relationship between culture and labour in its immediate contexts. Based on an extensive ethnography and the author’s own life experience as a member of such a community, the book offers a new conceptual framework to understand the politics and aesthetics of folk performance in the light of contemporary theories of theatre and performance studies.

An astonishingly free and frank eyewitness account of corruption, scandal, inefficiency, conspiracy, dishonesty, favouritism, misgovernance, and lack of transparency at the higher echelons of decision-making in the government. Written in a humorous style, the book contains stories of the kind of games played on the corridors of power and in various ministries. While all the major decisions are taken at the level of the ministers in charge and all the misdeeds are committed by the politicians, they conveniently escape responsibility, and the bureaucrats are invariably made the scapegoats. It is an irony of the system that the real culprits are never summoned or hauled up by the Public Accounts Committee. Not being able to withstand the pressure and the fear of brutal reprisals, good bureaucrats also fall in line, and good people start doings bad things. The author always thought he was a misfit in the system. The author looked back at his encounters in the Central Ministries with a sense of pride, a sense of fear, a sense of horror, a sense of helplessness, and a sense of frustration. Being a nonconformist from childhood, he did not agree to compromise with any minister, politician, or seniors on issues of principles and propriety. It became increasingly clear to him that no politician or a bureaucrat was interested in thinking of reforms, doing things for public good, or serving people with patriotic fervour. Greed and power had overtaken almost all politicians, making them arrogant, revengeful, and fearful people and a genre of superior species that had no connection with the common people.
