We are thankful to our contributors, reviewers, series editors, and the editorial team at OUP for turning our volume into a reality!

Our book was imagined on the cusp of the pandemic and our contributors wrote and revised the chapters during difficult circumstances.

My review of Amit Ahuja's superb book, Mobilizing the Marginalized. Ahuja shows how social movements shaped the political incorporation of lower castes across India, tracing their varied impacts on democratic accountability. A major contribution that deserves to be widely read.

My interview on Dalit politics appears in the Business Standard: "A dominant BJP undercuts Dalit parties, but by increasing the competition for Dalit votes, it could prove beneficial for Dalit voters." https://t.co/ffRYFsEJHt

How should we understand #IndianArmy ex-servicemen's protests on #OROP, #CanttSecurity, and #CloseCanttGates? @Rajkamalsingh23 and I argue that veterans are a readymade pressure group, but have much to lose by adopting a partisan tilt on @ThePrintIndia.
