Summary: This book investigates the Internet as a site of political contestation in the Indian context. It widens the scope of the public sphere to social media and explores its role in shaping the resistance and protest movements on the ground. The volume also explores the role of the Internet, a global technology, in framing debates on the idea of the nation-state, especially India, as well as diplomacy and international relations. It also discusses the possibility of whether the Internet can be used as a tool for social justice and change, particularly by the underprivileged, to go beyond caste, class, gender and other oppressive social structures.
