ABSTRACT
Within the context of a modern form of infrastructural edifice, capital drives and derives its legitimation from a vocabulary of constructed consensus, positing socio-economic changes – big, tall buildings, flyovers, mega-hydro projects, big dams, jumbo shopping plazas – in the name of development for the ‘larger common good’. Contained by the hegemony of the developmental paradigm, even the voices of opposition are sought to be located and regulated inside the system.
