The idea of India
Sunil Khilnani's The Idea of India is a profound historical-political study of the post-independence Indian state project. Khilnani explores the paradoxes and ironies of modern India's identity: a major multi-ethnic, secular, and pluralistic democracy, yet also facing poverty, religious tensions, and doubts about its national identity. He explores the role of figures like Gandhi and Nehru, as well as the struggles of India's founding fathers in defining who truly "Indian" is. In the introduction to the revised edition, Khilnani also questions whether the original "idea of India" can still survive amidst rapid socio-economic change and the rise of exclusivist nationalism.
