Description - A Biography of the Indian Nation, 1947-1997 by Ranabir Samaddar
A Biography of the Indian Nation, 1947-97 seeks to define what makes a nation a nation - referring to the nation of India. Most writings on Indian nationalism concentrate on the colonial period. Ranabir Samaddar, however, deals with the post-colonial phase, arguing that it is only with the assumption of state power that nationalism commences. The book examines: the beginning of the nation; attempts at rebellion; issues of caste and communalism and the nations attempt to tackle them India's elections; the theory of citizenship, taking into account both citizen and alien; the importance of public versus private space; war and peace in India.
