From a dancing body in Manipur to ghost malls doubling up as pleasure zones for poor youth to the spread of Indian cinematic sensibilities in Afghan films, this volume examines the limits, boundaries, and liminal spaces that impact perceptions of what India is and can be both inside and outside its geographic border. Ultimately, readers are able to view India outside of its state-driven formations, offering instead an ecosystem of signs and signposts to ground cultural understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAtreyee Majumder\u003c\/b\u003e is dean of academics and associate professor of social sciences at the National Law School of India University.
