Understanding people's science movement in India: from the vantage of social movement perspective

Abstract

It hardly needs emphasis that People’s Science Movements (PSMs) in India have been very unique and such movements are not witnessed yet elsewhere although science popularization / science com-munication movements were witnessed in USA, Europe and Australia. As a study of unique social phenomenon catching up our academic fascination, the paper fi rst tried to characterize the phenom-enon of PSM; second, tried to locate such a phenomenon in its socio-historical contexts. Lastly, the phenomenon is empirically studied through the analysis of fi ve extensive case studies of various types of People’s Science Movement Organizations (PSMOs) from the view point of social movement per-spective, i. e. Resource mobilization theory.
