ABSTRACT
In Chapter 6, I conclude and deal extensively with conceptions of protest politics, corruption, power subversion and cultural misrecognition as prominent features of the politics of West Bengal. I theorise and give concluding remarks with each of the ethnographic issues discussed so far. I give a summary of the findings so far, and tease out perennial issues and map the new trends of West Bengal politics in the broader Indian context. I reflect on the potential future of politics of the state which is moving from a party grid to a series of misrecognitions and towards an unpredictable future.
