随着经济自由化程度的提高，一种由城市中产阶级领导的新型公民社会运动不断发展，其目标是消除城市公共空间中的“污秽”，包括垃圾、贫民窟和路边摊，创建一个“世界级”城市。这些运动被批判性地分析为一种代表新印度的现象，该印度渴望以牺牲穷人为代价，以消费主义和享乐为基础取得进步。孟买一家英语小报组织的“对抗污秽”就是此类活动之一。本文旨在通过关注这场运动的形式和美学，为理解这些有争议的运动提供一个新的视角。它说明了公共文化对中产阶级的要求，既要赶上全球印度的新消费审美，又要成为对整个社会负责的适当公民，并考虑了中产阶级如何应对这一点。
A new type of civil society movement led by the urban middle class has grown with increasing economic liberalization, one that aims to eliminate ‘filth’, including garbage, slums, and street stalls, from the city's public space and to create a ‘world-class’ city. These movements have been critically analyzed as a phenomenon representing a new India aspiring to progress based on consumerism and pleasure at the cost of the poor. ‘Fight the Filth’, organized by a Mumbai English-language tabloid, is one campaign of this type. This paper aims to provide a new perspective to understand these controversial movements by focusing on the forms and aesthetics of this campaign. It illustrates the demands on the middle class in public culture, both to catch up with global India's new consumer aesthetics and to be proper citizens responsible for the society at large, and considers how the middle class is coping with this.
