'Nationalist' writers and politicians have been apt to take the
'nation' as a given entity, perhaps even a providential one. A more
recent trend in historical writing, however, has been to emphasize
the extent to which 'nations' are made, not born. The histories in
this new series take as this as their organizing principle, whether
the forging of the 'nation' was a matter of conscious manipulation
by an elite or guided by more popular imperatives, or a combination
of the two. Each volume describes how and when particular modern
nations came into existence, while at the same time demonstrating
that the process is both complex and deeply contingent.
This first volume in the series looks at a region that is all too
often viewed through the prism of European experience. Ian Talbot
provides a wide-ranging study of nationalism in a non-European
context, showing how the 'invention' of modern India and Pakistan
drew heavily for inspiration on indigenous values. Analyzing both
the effects of colonial rule and the post-colonial aftermath, the
book is a readable and up-to-date introduction to the major issues
in the contemporary history of the sub-continent.
