Abstract

In Modi's India, a host of indices perform transparency, efficiency, and good governance but leave undeclared the political shifts they are bringing about. Dramatized in real-time dashboards, policy briefs, press reports, and social media posts, these technocratic numbers arbitrarily rank administrative units and place them in a competitive relation with each other within Indian federalism. As technical device, aesthetic projection, and mediating interface, the index is a node in “maximum governance,” an emergent apparatus of governance that renders development as the site of a pernicious combination of centralizing state power and neoliberal entrepreneurship.

治理接口

在莫迪领导的印度，许多指数表现出透明度、效率和良好治理，但没有宣布它们带来的政治转变。这些技术官僚数字在实时仪表盘、政策简报、新闻报道和社交媒体帖子中引人注目，它们任意地对行政单位进行排名，并使它们在印度联邦制中处于相互竞争的关系中。作为技术手段、美学投影和中介界面，该指数是“最大治理”的一个节点，这是一种新兴的治理机制，使发展成为集中国家权力和新自由主义创业的有害结合的场所。

期刊介绍： Public Culture is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of cultural studies, published three times a year—in January, May, and September. It is sponsored by the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU. A four-time CELJ award winner, Public Culture has been publishing field-defining ethnographies and analyses of the cultural politics of globalization for over thirty years. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the places and occasions where cultural, social, and political differences emerge as public phenomena, manifested in everything from highly particular and localized events in popular or folk culture to global advertising, consumption, and information networks. Artists, activists, and scholars, both well-established and younger, from across the humanities and social sciences and around the world, present some of their most innovative and exciting work in the pages of Public Culture.
