"""Freedom Inc. urgently maps discourses of freedom that shore up the acquisitive values of Millennial India. It provokes us to think of freedom as a hegemonic practice of liberalization and global capitalism. Yet Freedom Inc. also illuminates how the yearning to be 'free' remains essential for an emancipatory politics of subalternity (Dalits and gendered minorities). Mangharam carefully joins intellectual and economic history with luminous readings of the literary and cultural terrains of contemporary India. This book makes an important case for considering how storytelling emerges in the vortex of contradictions between affluence and dearth that constitute postcolonial India's ongoing struggles with freedom."" --Mrinalini Chakravorty, Associate Professor of English, University of Virginia, USA"
