The Political context of India is dominated by the advance of the Hindu Right and globalised forms of capitalism. Simultaneously, the historian`s intellectual context is now dominated by the marginalisation of all varieties of Marxism and an academic shifft to cultural studies and postmodern critiques. In his scenario, how many a thinking historian who retains an unfashionable commitment to socialist-feminist values, alongside a democratic political vision formulated practice the craft of history? The theme which runs through and unites this excellent set of essays is the author`s consistent critique of the limits of `nationalist frames`. He shows that despite their divergent forms-chauvinistic or benign, political-statist or culturalist-nationalist frameworks have limited modern South Asian history. He argues forcefully for moving beyond such frames towards a fledibly-Marxian social history and Politics imbued with democratic, socialist-feminist, and internationalist values.
