More about the book

Exploring the political culture of North India from the 1930s to 1950s, the book examines how unprecedented mobilization coexisted with a de-politicization of politics. It highlights the transformation of political engagement into a matter of personal morality and identity, reflecting the middle-class milieu's role in shaping this new landscape. By analyzing how individuals sought to express themselves and find stability in a rapidly changing world, the work offers a fresh perspective on the historiography of modern South Asia.
