Description

Explore the evolution of Indian society through this interdisciplinary study from Routledge. This book examines what post-colonialism means to Indian citizens by looking at the nation since Independence. By focusing on the Doon School, a famous boys boarding school and leading educational institution, the author brings abstract concepts into a concrete social context. Readers gain insight into how being post-colonial in India is linked to being modern, rational, secular, and urban. This work makes a complex subject accessible by analyzing how national character is constructed through education and social structures. It is an essential read for those interested in the history and culture of Asia and the development of modern India.
