India's struggle for independence was arguably the most momentous
of the twentieth century, and central to it was the generation of
powerful nationalist forces. In a series of detailed studies
Anthony Low shows how the ambiguity of the British position
conditioned the distinctive character of this struggle: how the
British determination to hold fast their Indian empire (unlike the
Americans in the Philippines) prior to 1942 was nonetheless
complemented by a reluctance to resist their nationalist opponents
in the unyielding ways of the French in Vietnam and the Dutch in
Indochina. Much that Gandhi did, Professor Low concludes, would
have been unnecessary in the Philippines and impossible in
Indonesia and Vietnam, but astutely fitted the peculiar conditions
of the nationalist struggle against the British in India. Published
on the fiftieth anniversary of Indian independence, Britain and
Indian Nationalism makes a major contribution to the historiography
of modern India, to Britain's relations with its empire, and to the
history of decolonisation in the twentieth century.
