Focusing on citizen interactions with state institutions, this book presents a novel perspective on government and administrative corruption in late colonial and early independent Uttar Pradesh, India. It challenges the notion that corruption is solely a top-level issue, instead examining how everyday citizens engage with local bureaucracies and police. By analyzing changing discourses and practices, the author sheds light on the complexities of corruption at the grassroots level, offering a deeper understanding of its implications in society.
