In this paper, which is based on his Doctoral research at the Centre for the Studies of Culture and Society (CSCS) in Bangalore, India and the Graduate School of the University of Humanistic Studies in Utrecht, the Netherlands, Ansari makes new meaningful connections between international contemporary academic debates on pluralism and democratic social transformation on the one hand and discourses circulating within Indian subaltern spaces on the other. Through a particular case study of 'the pasmanda counterpublic', Ansari aims to enrich the debates within civil society as well as open new possibilities for engagement with social change. The paper consists of three parts. The first part offers a meaningful point of departure in the conceptual context in which Ansari launches his discussion on the pasmanda counterpublic and its significance for rethinking contemporary challenges of social change. The second part of the paper locates the pasmanda counterpublic in the ongoing and historical debate with a account of the emergence of new subaltern counterpublics in India and a concise genealogy of the modernity of traditional identities applied by both the colonial and post-colonial Indian state, with a special focus on caste. The third part of the paper is primarily based on resources produced by the pasmanda movement itself and discusses the ways in which the movement deals with religious pluralism, social reform within the Muslim community and social justice in India and finally sketches how the process of globalization is currently received by the pasmanda community.

Social movements have been major actors in processes of emancipation and democratization for a long time. This paper emerged from a Hivos research project carried out in 2008 and 2009. It confirms that social movements are moving targets, hard to pin down by supporters, with many dimensions yet unexplored by academics. Movements cannot be built or engineered, but outside actors can play a constructive role, especially by promoting an enabling environment in which movements can flourish and expand their outreach.
