Towards nationalism : Group affiliations and the politics of public associations in nineteenth Century Western India - Bombay Popular Prakashan 1974 - 332p.

This BOOK sets out to explore some of the salient aspects of public and political activity in one area of India during the
nineteenth century. \ The measuring rod adopted is that of the public association, that uniquely mid-nineteenth century pheno- menon which brought an eclectic range of the leading men of an area together, in joint pursuit, at least in theory, of the good of the people. Their driving ethos was that of the public good but its application reflected their training, ideas and backgounds, as well as the general environment in which they were paced.
