The book aims to illustrate that what is distinctive about any
particular society is not the fact of its modernity, but rather its
own unique debates about modernity. Behind the embattled arena of
culture in India, for example, lie particular social and political
interests such as the growing middle class, the entrepreneurs and
commercial institutions, and the state. The contributors address
the roles of these various intertwined interests in the making of
India's public culture, each examining different sites of
consumption. The sites which are explored include cinema, radio,
cricket, restaurants and tourism. The book also makes distinct the
differences among public, mass and popular culture.
