  This omnibus includes three major works of Ashis Nandy”The Tao of Cricket, An Ambiguous Journey to the City, and Traditions, Tyranny, and Utopias. The first, which has been called ˜the Hind Swaraj of Indian cricket`, shows how the game, with its pre-industrial ethics and distinctive rhythm, entered South Asian popular culture in colonial times. It also discusses how the game is slowly becoming a conventional, modern, professionalized, and corporatized sport.

The second describes the journey from the village to the city and the struggle to recover the lost village as pivots of creative imagination in the Indic civilization. Indian cosmopolitanism, it argues, is sterile without the village serving as a counterpoint of the city.

The third seeks to retrieve visions of a desirable society outside the nineteenth-century theories of mega-technology-led, allegedly historically determined progress. It contests such theories which have allowed a few privileged societies to colonize the future of the entire Southern world.
