BEYOND BELIEF: India and the Politics of Postcolonial Nationalism

	Beyond Belief: India And The Politics Of Postcolonial Nationalism by Srirupa Roy
	Price : Rs 595.00

Beyond Belief rethinks the formation and consolidation of nation-state ideologies. Analysing the first two decades after Indian Independence, Srirupa Roy shows how nationalists were turned into nationals, subjects into citizens, and the colonial state into a sovereign nation-state.

The idea that nations come into being as `imagined communities` is not adequate when you look at India. Here the state makes itself more than manifest as the only possible glue for diverse communities to stick through thick and thin, like it or not, leaving very little for these communities to imagine.
