Decentring the Indian Nation, Hardcover by Wyatt, Andrew (EDT); Zavos, John (EDT), ISBN 1032451998, ISBN-13 9781032451992, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US First published in 2003, Decentring the Indian Nation examines the various centrifugal forces apparent in recent Indian politics. After achieving independence in 1947 India’s elite opted to build a modern nation-state. This idea was carefully nurtured during the fight for freedom from British rule by the dominant Congress movement. In recent years, the idea of a centralised state has been challenged from a number of directions. Strong regional political movements have questioned the assumption that India’s federal system requires a dominant centre. The related trend of identity-based mobilisation has challenged settled notions of Indian national identity. The authors discuss the idea that as a nation, India is becoming 'decentred’, and consider the implications of this idea for the development of the Indian polity. This book will be of interest to students of politics, geography and development.
