  abstract = {{T}his paper examines the development of secured residential enclaves in {I}ndia, especially in {D}elhi. {I}t expounds the conditions of their emergence and success: although gated communities are a market driven development boosted by economic liberalisation reforms, they are also embedded in indigenous traditions of residential segregation and enclosure as well as colonial practices. {T}he {N}on-{R}esident {I}ndians ({NRI}) have further played a significant role in the production of these new residential spaces. {S}ignificant appeal factors are explored: desire for security, retreat from failing government and the polluted city, search for exclusivity, elitism and social homogeneity. {T}apping into the {I}ndian diaspora market and the middle-class' aspirations for social status, promoters have projected their residential enclaves as a way of "global living" in a healthy environment, reserved to a privileged cosmopolitan elite. {Y}et, gated communities in {D}elhi are not a mere exogenous {W}estern production; rather, they are spaces in-between the global and the local. {T}he findings are based on direct field observations in {D}elhi and a review of advertisements by real estate developers in various media. {T}he analysis pursues an {I}ndo-{C}hinese comparative perspective with reference to the research of {M}arie {S}ander (this issue) on gated communities in {S}hanghai.},
