Focusing on citizen interactions with local bureaucracies and police, this book presents a novel perspective on government and administrative corruption in late colonial and early independent Uttar Pradesh, India. It challenges traditional views that link the state solely to high-level government officials, instead emphasizing how everyday experiences shape understandings and practices of corruption. Through this lens, the author examines the evolving discourses surrounding corruption, highlighting the significance of local dynamics in the broader context of governance.
