Summary

"The book titled Garbocracy: Towards a Great Human Collapse engages with how the accumulation and disposal of garbage in India is motivated by diverse social, cultural, political, economic, communal, caste, religious and various other factors. The disgusting experiences generated by the sight and the stink of garbage is not only physical in nature, but psychological, neurological, structural, institutional, tangible and intangible in nature. To elaborate further, on the one side the improper disposal of garbage in the public places generate varied health issues and on the other hand it impacts the social, cultural, political, and economic state of individuals and communities. With respect to these perspectives, the aim of this book is to unfold how the various socio-politically motivated patterns and intensions of disposing garbage in India, gradually convert the heaps of garbage into authoritative entities that govern the habitual thinking, behaving and acting patterns of the humans"-- Provided by publisher.
