Description

A critical examination of post-colonial Indian history-writing, the book analyzes the uses made of India's often millennial past by nationalist ideologues who sought a specific solution to India's predicament on its way to becoming a post-colonial state. From independence to the present, it considers the competing visions of India's liberation from her apocalyptical present to be found in the thinking of Gandhi, V.D. Savarkar, Nehru and B.R. Ambedkar as well as V.S. Naipaul and Salman Rushdie.
