The People of India: New Indian Politics in the 21st Century - Paperback
by Ravinder Kaur (Editor), Nayanika Mathur (Editor)
'The People' and 'New India' are terms that are being invoked freely to both understand and govern India as she enters her 75th year of post-colonial nationhood. Yet, there is little clarity on who these people of India really are, what they do, their desires, histories and attachments to India. Similarly, the phrase 'New India' is used far too loosely to explain away a dangerously confounding politics.
