Nationalism, Democracy and Development

This text examines issues of history and political economy relevant to nationalism, democracy and development. The contributors argue that persisting material deprivation - the lack of substantive democracy and development - is a crucial problem, and that it is not addressed by the cultural critiques so much in vogue. The book is intended for students and researchers of modern Indian and South Asian history and politics, and researchers and all those interested in nationalism and theories of the state.
