This expanded edition provides insightful analysis of India’s journey toward modernization and democratization since gaining independence. Addressing critical historical debates, the book incorporates emerging viewpoints from social science research of the past twenty-five years. As a significant contemporary work, it delves into compelling discussions on topics such as the political economy of 18th-century India, socio-religious movements, and the nationalist struggle. The newly included final chapter offers a concise overview of key events in postcolonial India, covering the Nehru era and beyond. It connects current discussions on Indian national identity with societal, economic, and political transformations, from periods of state-led economic planning under a single-party system to the rise of a market economy amidst coalition governments. Masterfully capturing the multifaceted nature of Indian nationalism, this book is essential for students of history and political science. Scholars and researchers will find its comprehensive bibliography particularly valuable, while general readers will gain a deeper understanding of contemporary India.
