First published in 2003, Decentring the Indian Nation examines the
various centrifugal forces apparent in recent Indian politics.
After achieving independence in 1947 India's elite opted to build a
modern nation-state. This idea was carefully nurtured during the
fight for freedom from British rule by the dominant Congress
movement. In recent years, the idea of a centralised state has been
challenged from a number of directions. Strong regional political
movements have questioned the assumption that India's federal
system requires a dominant centre. The related trend of
identity-based mobilisation has challenged settled notions of
Indian national identity. The authors discuss the idea that as a
nation, India is becoming 'decentred', and consider the
implications of this idea for the development of the Indian polity.
This book will be of interest to students of politics, geography
and development.
