OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Centralisation has been the defining characteristic of the Indian state’s politico-economic policy objective irrespective of the political party in power at the federal/central level. This centralisation was viewed as a critical necessity to the making of unified Indian nationhood out of the existing diversities. Centralisation and nationalism reinforcing each other have shaped the economic policy paradigm in the making of Indian capitalism in different phases in the post-colonial period though the forms of that centralising nationalism have changed. This centralising nationalism as a political-economic regulatory framework suffers from internal and external vulnerabilities.
