Administrative reforms are long overdue in India as the present administrative system is obsolete and continuing as a legacy from British Raj. It is not coping with the ever-changing needs and aspirations of the ever-growing population of the country. Administrative set-up should be redesigned to work more efficiently and to bring transparency, accountability, efficacy and high-speed response into governance to meet the aspirations of the people before their anger turns into revolt against the elected governments. Zero corruption government should be the bedrock of an advanced democracy.

This volume critically engages with recent formulations and debates regarding the status of the regional languages of the Indian subcontinent vis-à-vis English. It explores how language ideologies of the “vernacular” are positioned in relation to the language ideologies of English in South Asia. The book probes into how we might move beyond the English-vernacular binary in India, explores what happened to “bhasha literatures” during the colonial and post-colonial periods and how to position those literatures by the side of Indian English and international literature. It looks into the ways vernacular community and political rhetoric are intertwined with Anglophone (national or global) positionalities and their roles in political processes. This book will be of interest to researchers, students and scholars of literary and cultural studies, Indian Writing in English, Indian literatures, South Asian languages and popular culture. It will also be extremely valuable for language scholars, sociolinguists, social historians, scholars of cultural studies and those who understand the theoretical issues that concern the notion of “vernacularity”.
