Book Synopsis India and Pakistan by : Ian Talbot

Download or read book India and Pakistan written by Ian Talbot and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2000-07-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume in the series looks at a region that is all too often viewed through the prism of European experience: India and Pakistan. Ian Talbot provides a wide-ranging study of nationalism in a non-European context, showing how the 'invention' of modern India and Pakistan drew heavily for inspiration on indigenous values. Analyzing both the effects of colonial rule and the post-colonial aftermath, the book is a readable and up-to-date introduction to the major issues in the contemporary history of the sub-continent and an examination of a recent trend in historical writing to emphasize the extent to which nations are made, not born. The book explores whether the forging of the nation is a matter of conscious manipulation by an elite or guided by more popular imperatives or a combination of the two.
