Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book gives a comprehensive view of the numerous facets comprising modern India, a subject of enduring interest since the early 20th century when interest in the subject took hold in Britain. The author, a British Member of Parliament who served as a British Resident in India, offers a wide-ranging survey of India from its physical attributes to its cultural and social practices. The author's experience uniquely positions him to discuss India's political evolution from its colonial past to present-day conditions in which political unrest continues alongside rapid modernization and the development of an assertive national identity. Among the complex issues the author engages with are the enduring influence of caste, challenges faced by India's vast and diverse population, and the ethical concerns raised by the British presence in India. This book shines a light on an enigmatic and vibrant country, rich in history, culture and contradiction, and invites readers to reflect on some of the most pressing issues of our time.
