About the Book
This is the Hindi edition of Cultural History of Modern India, a collection of six essays.
This is the first in the series of three books for concurrent courses of Delhi University. The six essays presents original and pioneering forays in the study of cricket, oral history, gender studies, films, popular culture and Indian classical music. The history of modern India has been narrated largely in terms of the nationalist movements, personalities and what has been seen as the high politics of state. This collection of essays tries to push the emerging paradigm further by moving away from conventional notions of the history of the nation and indeed of the politics.
