Author Description

An Interdisciplinary And Engaging Book Which Looks At The Nature Of Indian Society Since Independence And Unpacks What Post-colonialism Means To Indian Citizens. Using The Case Study Of The Doon School, A Famous Boarding School For Boys, And One Of The Leading Educational Institutions In India, The Author Argues That To Be Post-colonial In India Is To Be Modern, Rational, Secular And Urban. In Placing Post-colonialism In This Concrete Social Context, And Analysing How It Is Constructed, The Author Renders A Complex And Often Rather Abstract Subject Accessible.
