Lecture Four of Keywods & Cultures focuses on Nair & deSouza’s 2020 challenge to Keywords. In Keywords for India, these scholars provide an amazingly rich range of multilingual and multicultural Indias as those IndiaS are seen through the windows of spiritual keywords such as Dharma & Mana and political concepts such as Policy Paralysis & Jobless Growth, as well as sociolinguistic keywords related to Beauty, Beauty Parlours & Gyms. A range of experts explain their IndiaS through the keywords of culture that show something essential about Gender and Foeticide, ambitions and aspirations of Individual Indians, and the way Indian Netizens exist on the streets and online as Netizens.
