| Summary, etc. | History matters in contemporary debates on nationalism,' Sugata Bose<br/>contends in The Nation as Mother. In this interconnected set of deeply<br/>researched and powerfully argued essays and speeches Bose explores the<br/>relationship between nation, reason and religion in Indian political thought and<br/>practice. Offering a subtle interpretation of the ways of imagining the nation as<br/>mother, the book illuminates different visions of India as a free and flexible<br/>federal union that have acquired renewed salience today.<br/>Breaking out of the false dichotomy between secular nationalism and religious<br/>communalism, the author provides incisive analyses of the political legacies of<br/>Tagore and Gandhi, Nehru and Bose, Aurobindo and Jinnah and a range of<br/>other thinkers and leaders of the anti-colonial movement. The essays question<br/>assumptions about any necessary contradiction between cosmopolitanism and<br/>patriotism and the tendency among religious majoritarians and secularists alike<br/>to confuse uniformity with unity. The speeches in Parliament draw on a rich<br/>historical repertoire to offer valuable lessons in political ethics.<br/>In arguing against the dangers of an intolerant religious majoritarianism, this<br/>book makes a case for concepts of layered and shared sovereignty that might<br/>enable an overarching sense of Indian nationhood to coexist with multiple<br/>identities of the country's diverse populace. The Nation as Mother delves into<br/>history on the occasion of the seventieth anniversary of freedom to evoke an<br/>alternative future of a new India based on cultural intimacy among its different<br/>communities. |
