This anthology offers a framework for understanding the rapid changes that India is now undergoing, and how modern cultural forms have emerged out of a combination of very different histories and traditions. 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. Contributors include Stuart Blackburn, Kajri Jain, Amita Baviskar and Ravi S Vasudevan.
