Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume has emerged out of an enthused response to contribute essays on the making of Indian nationalism - an aspect that assumes importance in the wake of a spectacular return of national consciousness through the decades of the 80s and 90s. The essays in this volume are incisive analytical comments on what constitutes Indian culture.
