The state and the market in the mainstream development mode, which characterises this process, interact almost exclusively with the upper, visible and dominant segments of the society, subjecting vast number of people lower down the hierarchy to silence. The politics of identity manifests itself either as a protest or as a protective response to these exclusionary parties of both the state and the market. - Reproduced Democracy - India Democracy Economic and Political Weekly 41841 41841 41841 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 34, Issue no: 32 AR42218 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
