Constructing Post-Colonial India : National Character and the Doon School, Hardback Book

Constructing Post-Colonial India : National Character and the Doon School Hardback

Part of the Culture and Communication in Asia series

Hardback

Description

An interdisciplinary and engaging book which looks at the nature of Indian society since Independence and unpacks what post-colonialism means to Indian citizens.

Using the case study of the Doon School, a famous boarding school for boys, and one of the leading educational institutions in India, the author argues that to be post-colonial in India is to be modern, rational, secular and urban.

In placing post-colonialism in this concrete social context, and analysing how it is constructed, the author renders a complex and often rather abstract subject accessible.
