The postliberalization era of the Indian economy has given birth to a burgeoning middle class who has gained increasing prominence in the political and cultural imagination of the nation. Many erstwhile scholars have attempted to concretely define the size and scope of the middle class in India only to accede to the extraordinary variety of people living in multiple socioeconomic circumstances, identifying with this class. This book thus explores what being middle class means to those who claim to belong to this class. Drawing on ethnographic material from the South Indian city of Hyderabad, the author highlights the centrality of moral discourses in the production of class and gender in urban India. She explores school education patterns, shifting marriage ideals, and youth cultures such as dating and fashion to understand the new middle class world view. This world view, the work asserts, is built around developing cosmopolitan sensibilities within traditional casteclass and gender boundaries. The work also looks at the power of such a world view to naturalize and legitimize gender and classcaste hierarchies.
