Summary:
The most pertinent social, economic and political issues confronting India today center around the question of modernity. In this book, Javeed Alam seeks to untangle the complex, and often contradictory, constructions of modernity. He suggests new ways of approaching modernity which are liberatory, rather than oppressive, and may help in the struggle for a more equitable and just society both within the country and in the wider world.
