Interrogating Populist Tendencies within the Left Rhetoric in Kerala

Creator

Sunilraj B.; Sasikumar S.

Description

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, there has been an increasing shift from class-based politics to politics based on mobilising "people" within the left-wing political praxis and rhetoric. Such tendencies are visible even within the left rhetoric in Kerala. In the particular context of Kerala, this process is enmeshed with sub-nationalist sentiments and concerns around vikasanam (development). It is possible that this tendency can metamorphose into different directions, depending on the tactical priorities of the left in Kerala. 2022 Economic and Political Weekly. All rights reserved.
