In this episode we speak to Dr. Diego Maiorano, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore about two fascinating topics. First - we ask him about his book Autumn of the Matriarch: Indira Gandhis Final Term in Office which examines Indira Gandhis last term in office, and the political and social implications of her last term. We also ask about the residues of her politics in contemporary India. Second, we touch upon Diegos current work on the NREGA program, and his fieldwork in Andhra Pradesh, and the politics of welfare. It is a long-ish episode, but we cover a lot - about history, contemporary politics, and the complex political economies of welfare delivery on the ground. Discussed on this episode: Autumn of the Matriarch Post-Clientelistic Initiatives in a Patronage Democracy: The Non Distribution of Pork in India’s MGNREGA You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the new and improved IVM Podcast App on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios
