Indian Modernity
Contradictions, Paradoxes and Possibilities
Avijit Pathak
Información del libro
Indian Modernity (first published in 1998) acquires a new meaning today. While it critiques a techno-militaristic model of modernization, it visualizes alternative possibilities to give a distinctively new definition to our modernity. It engages the reader in dreaming of a new path to modernity beyond its present contradictions and paradoxes with its lyrical style, philosophic insights, sensitivity to deep religiosity, life-affirming femininity and, most of all, sociological imagination.
This book continues to hold relevance for social science students and researchers, teachers, and visionaries, despite the passage of time.
