A lively discussion between two eminent Indian academics that examines what it means to be an Indian.
Through a stimulating dialogue, two old friends trace the history of the idea of India through digressions, anecdotes, and observations. Historian Romila Thapar and theorist Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak reflect on the challenges posed by essentialism and exclusion whenever cultures attempt to define and assert themselves. They also emphasize the role of education in fostering a more inclusive and accurate understanding of the nation’s complex history. Their conversation revolves around the narratives that have shaped Indian identityfrom Vedic times to the presentand those whose voices and visions for this land remain unheard and unseen.
Ranging from nationalism to religion and beyond,
The
Idea of India
discusses an urgent question: What does it mean to be an Indian in contemporary society?
