Rethinking Nationalism: A Nation- First Perspective on Post- Independence India
In this forthright work of non- fiction, journalist and author Uday Mahurkar offers a clear examination of the post-independence India through a nationalist perspective. My Idea of Nation first reflects on key political and ideological decisions taken after 1947 and analyses how they continue to Influence India’s social structure and political identity.
Engaging critically with the concept of minority appeasement, Mahurkar argues that certain policy choices weakened national cohesion and contributed to enduring political divisions. Drawing on historical debates and views of thinkers like B.R Ambedkar and Veer Savarkar, the book revisits complex questions around religion and nationalism in independent India.
Rooted firmly in nation- first ideology, the book seeks to challenge prevailing historical narratives shaped by political pressure and selective interpretation. Blending political analysis with historical reflection, it makes a meaningful contribution to ongoing discussions on Indian nationalism, identity and future of democracy in India.
