The Idea of India was originally published to mark the 50th anniversary of India's independence and has since established itself as a uniquely valuable and authoritative book on a key subject. At the heart of India's self-image since independence has been 'the idea of India' - modern technocratic egalitarian secular - but the tensions between the idea and the reality have become almost intolerable. This book shows how.
