Soft cover. Condition: New. Aadhaar, India s unique identity system, was introduced in 2009 with the stated purpose of creating a more inclusive and efficient welfare system. Hundreds of millions of Indians were enrolled into the biometric database, with successive governments creating pressure by making it compulsory for social benefits. Even after the Supreme Court verdict in 2018, it remains a must-have for welfare. Dissent on Aadhaar argues that Aadhaar was never really about welfare. The essays in this book explain how the project opens the doors to immense opportunities for government surveillance and commercial data-mining. Focussing on Aadhaar, but drawing lessons from ID projects from other parts of the world also, this book alerts readers to the dangers lurking in such expansive digital ID projects. For example, how profiling, made possible by Aadhaar, impinges on the fundamental Right to Privacy; or how surveillance leads to self-censorship and can choke free thought and expression; or how Aadhaar, contrary to government claims, excludes people entitled by right from welfare when made compulsory. On the technology side, what are the perils of using biometrics and the dangers arising from centralised databases? Who has access to all our data, and how can it be used against us? With contributions from economists, lawyers, technologists, journalists and civil liberties campaigners, this book is for everyone concerned about a healthy democracy in India and beyond. It will be also be of interest to students and scholars of political science, law and public policy. (jacket).…

Soft cover. Condition: New. 'Social policy is too important to be left to experts. It must also draw on informed views of concerned citizens. Freebies or Rights fills many gaps in the public's access to critical knowledge and ideas, sets the facts straight and clears the fog. It will sharpen your mind and soften your heart.'—Jean Drèze This book asks a simple but urgent question: when the state provides food, healthcare, education, pensions, or employment support, are these 'freebies'—or are they rights that make a dignified life possible? Drawing on over two decades of field research across rural India, economist Reetika Khera examines how social policies actually shape everyday life. From Anganwadis and school meals to the Public Distribution System, maternity benefits, pensions, public healthcare, and the MGNREGA, the book traces India's evolving welfare architecture from 'cradle to grave'. Blending rigorous research with vivid stories from villages, classrooms, government offices, and field surveys, the book moves beyond political rhetoric to ask deeper questions about inequality, citizenship, and the role of the state. Do welfare programmes create dependency, or do they expand freedom and opportunity? Why are social protections, considered essentials in many countries, often dismissed as handouts in India? Written for students, concerned citizens, policymakers, and sceptics alike, this accessible yet deeply informed book is both an introduction to social policy in India and a compelling argument for viewing social protection not as charity, but as a foundation for dignity, justice, and democratic life.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) is a unique initiative in the history of social security-it is not just an employment scheme but also a potential tool of economic and social change in rural areas. This volume presents the first comprehensive account of the 'battle for employment guarantee' in rural India. Staying clear of the propaganda and mud-slinging that has characterized much of the NREGA debate so far, the book presents an informed and authentic picture of the ground realities.The essays are based on field studies of NREGA by a team of researchers who have been actively involved in the campaign for the right to work. They examine a wide-range of issues such as entitlements, corruption, people's perceptions of NREGA, women's empowerment, mobilization of unorganized workers, and socio-economic impact of NREGA. They also provide a comparative analysis of the challenges and successes in the implementation of NREGA in different states including Orissa, Himachal Pradesh, and Rajasthan.…
