"This book is essential reading for all CSR and critical management researchers. Through rich and fine-grained historical, legal and cultural analysis, Nimruji Jammulamadaka demonstrates the patchwork of modern notions and evolving customary practices that differentially constitutes ‘the messy borderland’ of responsible business in post-colonial India. This highly original work sets exciting new co-ordinates for future CSR scholarship."Gavin Jack, Professor, Director of Research and Co-Deputy Head, Department of Management, Monash Business School, Australia
