The Idea of India
Sunil Khilnani
Khilnani on democracy, the city, the state and Nehru's project, in under two hundred and fifty pages.
Why you should read this
An essay-length argument that independent India is best understood as a democratic idea still being worked out, rather than a fixed nation with a settled identity. Written for readers who already know the outline of modern Indian history and want an interpretive argument rather than a narrative account.
