The realm of the digital is the site of reworking of the state, civil society, and market relationships, positioning a locally specific and culturally situated narrative of the digital as an anchor to the imagination of the nation. Citizenship is constituted by the digital, in the ambit of the participation of a skilled workforce in an information technology-driven economy on one hand and in the digitally mediated global free market on the other. The digital as a site of desire and affect is thus the site for reworking of power and control. Simultaneously, amid the large scale deployment of the digital as an instrument of neoliberal hegemony, communities across local spaces are voicing their resistance through networks of relationships constituted digitally. What then are the interplays among the realms of power, control and resistance in the context of digital India? This special issue offers scholarship exploring the circulation of capital, affect, and communication through digital platforms. It also invites scholarship on digital resistance as a site of political economic transformations in India. <http://app1.ftrans01.com/linktrack/lt.pl?id=10960=d0lVAVBWWwVRHQQCCAMGVAVUUxo=AkpQAAECDwEFUlNSBQxQAlleVw==&fl=XEERQVtJTUQWFhpBWVRTFEAGTQVdW05eWEJFW1YIEEx+WhBDDwcOAVFTAAMMHFQLVBYHFQ==>*Email address for submissions: **JOCCeditor@micamail.in* <JOCCeditor@micamail.in?Subject=> (*Address to:* *Editor-In Chief, Journal of Creative Communications, MICA - The School of Ideas, Shela Ahmadabad, India*) Please read through the *Call for Papers* <http://app1.ftrans01.com/linktrack/lt.pl?id=10960=d0lVAVBWWwVRHQQCCAMGVAVUUxo=AkpQAAECDwEFUlNSBQxQAlleVw==&fl=XEERQVtJTUQWFhpBWVRTFEAGTQ9cGRNRR1hEXEMLERobVwxfABQLVhJOd1NUX3ALRzQCFldEEht0ZXRqZEoTB1I=> for more information and view the *Manuscript Submission Guidelines* <http://app1.ftrans01.com/linktrack/lt.pl?id=10960=d0lVAVBWWwVRHQQCCAMGVAVUUxo=AkpQAAECDwEFUlNSBQxQAlleVw==&fl=XEERQVtJTUQWFhpBWVRTFEAGTQ9cGQtbQkVZVFsXTClbQBdfAApQA1BWAgQXXlcKQBcAFFtGFWdCVVpcRBcKDFo=> for full author instructions.
