Contents:

Rhetoric and reality : the many dimensions of civil society -- Transnational women's advocacy and Indian agendas -- Transnational human rights advocacy and the might of local action -- Transnational environmental advocacy and ethnic identity in India -- Transnational feminist and religious advocacy in India -- Negotiating networks.

Summary: India's vibrant civil society sector has become a powerful symbol of political participation in the country. It comprises a wealth of media organizations, caste and religion based associations, farmers groups, labor unions, social service organizations, and an almost limitless number of development organizations. Given this vibrancy, it is difficult to grasp the characteristics of civil society at the transnational or even the national level. Delving beneath the progressive surface to the local level, one finds a murky and multifaceted world of competing interests, compromises, uneasy alliance.
