In the Public's Interest: Evictions, Citizenship, and Inequality in Contemporary Delhi - Geographies of Justice and Social Transformation
Gautam Bhan
This book studies the recent legacy of basti “evictions” in Delhi—mass clearings of some of the city’s poorest neighborhoods—as a way to understand how the urban poor are disenfranchised in the name of “public interest” and, in the case of Delhi, by the very courts meant to empower and protect them.
