'...it is well written, balanced and comprehensive. It splendidly incorporates the new work of the last twenty years as no one else has and it will be the starting point for everyone doing any work, from sixth forms upwards, on modern India.' D.A.Low

A distillation of the historian's finest writings on modern Indian historical themes.

The political context in which historians of India find themselves is dominated by the advance of the Hindu Right and forms of capitalism, while the historian's intellectual context is dominated by the marginalization of all varieties of Marxism. This title offers a view of how the craft of history should be practiced in this conjuncture.
