Cultural Politics in Modern India

Postcolonial prospects, colourful cosmopolitanism, global proximities

Beschreibung

Evolving a form of unique cultural politics and aesthetics, key writers and thinkers engendered global proximities in Indian neighbourhoods. From the colonial times to the present, the trajectory of alternative globalization and modernity shows how Indian ideas, texts, and cultural expressions interacted with a wider world, vectored by the creative insights of figures like Tagore, Gandhi, Aurobindo, Kosambi, Narayan, Ezekiel, Spivak and others.
