Abhay Kumar Dubey is a well-known scholar-journalist and highly rated translator and editor of social science texts. He writes prolifically for newspapers, magazines and other serious journals. Currently he is engaged in the project of mediating social sciences in Indian languages through the Indian Languages Programme of the Centre, which has already published ten books under his editorship in last five years. He has edited Samay Chetna, a reputed monthly of ideas and analysis; and also has a dozen books related to the social and political issues to his credit. His study of changing face of Naxalite politics became a best seller and has seen several reprints.
During Emergency he suffered a long incarceration and has been a political activist of the radical left for many years. His research agenda has focused on the processes of a fast changing social scenario, which is filtered through by a reading of the history of globalisation(s), by analysing the fast mutating structures of patriarchy, by dissecting newly emerging cultures of media, through examining the startling claims of a sweeping sexual revolution in the Indian metros, and by making sense of global impacts on the developing language cultures. Though he mainly works in Hindi, he has bilingual capabilities and lately has been writing his research papers in English as well.
