A national identity crisis
A national identity crisis: A historian, a constitutional expert and a cultural theorist explain Indian nationalism elegantly, but fall just short of explaining its historical mutability...
Excerpts:
"Nationality answers two basic questions that every individual, at some point, would have asked herself. Who am I? Where do I belong? In a preface to this pocket-sized book*, a writer identified only by his initials argues that nationalism may be threaded into the human DNA, a form of association that is perhaps an innate species characteristic."
