| Notes | The idea of India developed in 1947, to unite a huge, diverse and poor society and to transform it into a modern state. This book is about the paradoxes and ironies that have surrounded that project in self-fashioning, a project that has given Indians real political freedoms but left most of them in poverty. This analysis provokes and illuminates a fundamental question: can the idea of India survive its own successes?[abebooks] |
