Description

The links between mind, politics and culture in India, especially the continuities and breaks in the culture of Indian politics, are the subject of these stimulating essays. The author sees politics as the defiance of - and reconciliation with - inner and outer authorities, focusing on persons and groups which have defined or redefined authority in Indian society during the colonial and post-colonial periods.
