This book presents an alternative view of cosmopolitanism,
citizenship and modernity in early 20th-century India through the
multiple lenses of mysticism, travel, friendship, art, and
politics.It makes a key intervention in the understanding of
cosmopolitan modernity based on the lives and experiences of
Rabindranath Tagore, Ananda Coomaraswamy, Sri Aurobindo, Mirra
Alfassa, James Cousins, Paul Richard, Dilip Kumar Roy, and
Taraknath Das. Using archival texts and photographs, Mohanty
interrogates the ideas of tradition and modernity, the local and
the global, and Self and the world as integral to the conception of
a cosmopolitan world order. The volume will interest scholars and
students of modern Indian history, comparative literature, cultural
studies, Indian philosophy, and South Asian studies and the general
reader.
