THE PARTHA CHATTERJEE OMNIBUS

This omnibus comprises three of Partha chatterjee`s finest works and marks a significant phase in the intellectual journey of one of India`s foremost political scientists. The common thread that unites the three book is the principal object of study which is the existing nation-state. The first, nationalist thought and the colonial world traces the ideological history of the Indian nation-state from its conception to its fruition. To the author, the `end of the story`. i.e the birth of the nation-state, was what was known and needed to be problematized. The nation and its fragments, through a series of interventions in different disciplinary fields, converged upon the same object the Indian nation state as it had developed after four decades of its post-colonial career. >THE PARTHA CHATTERJEE OMNIBUSCHATTERJEE PARTHAOxford9780195651560
