Claims and counter-claims have been advanced regarding its nature for long now. This book argues that there are multiple visions of Indian nationalism, each seeking hegemony over national discourse, and that divergences regarding the cultural-ideological contours of the idea of India are central to the contest over what Indian nationalism means.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contesting Nationalisms identifies four strands: composite culture nationalism; religious nationalism; a secular, citizen-centric nationalism, and a vision of 'Dalit nationalism' seeking to reorder the public sphere in its own fashion. It traces these visions, which emerged in colonial India, through an exploration of the ideas of key ideologues in colonial Punjab. The analysis also has implications for our understanding of communalism, which has been seen as intertwined with nationalism in India for more than a century now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vikas Pathak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9386552809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789386552808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Primus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Vikas Pathak","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48066448031999,"sku":"9789386552808","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_877b8c86-8cb9-449b-a4b9-2bd840dafdee.jpg?v=1768678493","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contesting-nationalisms-vikas-pathak-9789386552808","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
