The contributors conceptualise participation not merely as a voting/electoral mechanism but as one where all citizens have a legitimate and equitable stake in the processes of development and governanceit offers instead an extended connotation of citizenship and participation from the perspective of those bearing excluded identities-namely, the low caste, the poor, women and tribalsamong the issues discussed are participatory citizenship as a way of altering the existing relationship between the state and its vulnerable citizenry, and rescuing citizenship from its universal legal status to include the differential positioning of subjugated groupstext in very good condition with some light pencil marking throughoutsee oxfam website for delivery information read morevery light wear and tear to coveroxfam bookshop cotham hill this volume argues that the conventional understanding of citizenship is inadequate to capture the complex challenges a large majority of india's marginalised people face in actualising their rights and making their voices heardbased on the experiences of these groups in their everyday relationships with the state and with society at large, the contributors to this volume detail and explore the possibilities and the problematics of their inclusion in attempting a change in existing relations
