About the Author When the first edition of this book appeared. India's independence from British rule was still a relatively recent event. This fifth edition of Indian Nationalism: A History coincides with the return of the Congress Party to political power as the leading party in a new government in India. This book gives a clear and comprehensive account of the complex factors which led to the rise and eventual success of Indian nationalism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries till recent times.
It presents the story of what was involved in the freedom struggle-the nationalist demands brought together by clearly formulated underlying notions of cultural and national identity which convinced the British Politicians that their withdrawl was not only a necessity but an imperative that could not be, nor should be, long denied.
