India is changing at a rapid pace as it continues to move from its
colonial past to its globalised future. This Companion offers a
framework for understanding that change, and how modern cultural
forms have emerged out of very different histories and traditions.
The book provides accounts of literature, theatre, film, modern and
popular art, music, television and food; it also explores in detail
social divisions, customs, communications and daily life. In a
series of engaging, erudite and occasionally moving essays the
contributors, drawn from a variety of disciplines, examine not
merely what constitutes modern Indian culture, but just how
wide-ranging are the cultures that persist in the regions of India.
This volume will help the reader understand the continuities and
fissures within Indian culture and some of the conflicts arising
from them. Throughout, what comes to the fore is the extraordinary
richness and diversity of modern Indian culture.
