Under the Bhasha Gaze

Modernity and Indian Literature

Beschreibung

This book on Indian literature offers a critique of the aesthetics and politics of modernity as embodied in Indian bhasha literature of the past two centuries. It discusses the complex ways in which the bhasha imagination, even as it reshaped the history of colonial modernity, simultaneously allowed itself to be shaped by it in turn.
