| Abstract
|
:
|
'The Idea of India' looks at how the Indian ideal of being a modern, technocratic, egalitarian, secular state continues to be at odds with the reality over 50 years since independence. This updated edition includes coverage on the rise of Hindu nationalism and the crises in Kashmir and with Pakistan.
