Explores the historical and contemporary methods of collective assembly that people in India use to hold elected officials and government administrators accountable. She shows how assembly, which ranges from sit-ins, hunger strikes, and demands for meetings with officials to massive general strikes and road and rail blockades, is fundamental to the functioning of democracy in India.
