A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

A splendid - and timely - book ... Spirited, combative and insight-filled ... Khilnani has woven a rich analysis of contemporary India and its evolution since indepence. I am inclined to agree with [him] on the robustness and staying power of the secular idea of India (Amartya Sen Times Literary Supplement)

A masterful rebuttal to all cultural romantics and religious chauvinists ... [A] splendid book about definitions of the Indian nation (Ian Buruma New York Review of Books)

Especially brilliant is Khilnani's attempt to understand the changing nature of India by studying its urban constructs (Chitra Divakaruni Los Angeles Times)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This long essay makes an eloquent and persuasive argument for Nehru's idea of nationhood in India. At a time when the relevance of Nehru's vision is under scrutiny, this book assumes a special significance.
