Identity and Student Politics

This book explores the role of universities as spaces where debates around social issues get transformed into social action. It focuses on Osmania University in Hyderabad (now Telangana), India where a long battle for separate statehood was fought by student activists through a series of cultural activities and political processes. It illustrates how students mobilised, networked, and strategized on and off campus to produce creative forms of socialmovements.
