Description
These essays cover concerns that are of direct relevance to India's social and political future. They include: an analysis of the contribution of Gandhi, Nehru and Ambedkar to Indian political and social transformation; discussions on the evolution of post-Independence polity, the formation of civic loyalty, and the crisis of governability; an examination of the problem of religious and secular identities in the context of the construction of modernity; public health issues; and finally an analysis of the eco-politics of developmental activities and a framework for understanding communal violence.
