This book examines in rich detail the lives, struggles and strategies of South Asian activists seeking to advance various political, social and environmental causes.

The ethnographic studies lay bare how activists in the entire region continuously wrestle with the tensions between the tidy boxes of official classifications and the fuzzy categories of everyday life.
