Hailed as the beneficiary, driving force and result of globalisation, India¿smiddle-class is puzzling in its diversity, as a multitude of traditions, social formations and political constellations manifest contribute to this project. This book looks at Indian middle-class lifestyles through a number of case studies, ranging from a historical account detailing the making of a savvy middle-class consumer in the late colonial period, to saving clubs among women in Delhi¿s upmarket colonies and the dilemmas of entrepreneurial families in Tamil Nadu¿s industrial towns.
