Cambridge Companion to Modern Indian Culture Dalmia Vasudha
India is changing at a rapid pace as it continues to move from its colonial past to its globalised future. The book provides accounts of literature, theatre, film, modern and popular art, music, television and food; it also explores in detail social divisions, customs, communications and daily life. This Companion offers a framework for understanding that change, and how modern cultural forms have emerged out of very different histories and traditions.
This volume will help the reader understand the continuities and fissures within Indian culture and some of the conflicts arising from them. In a series of engaging, erudite and occasionally moving essays the contributors, drawn from a variety of disciplines, examine not merely what constitutes modern Indian culture, but just how wide-ranging are the cultures that persist in the regions of India. Throughout, what comes to the fore is the extraordinary richness and diversity of modern Indian culture.
