It provides a surfeit of riches that has its own problems. The introduction opens on a moving autobiographical note, but soon gathers dizzying momentum and gravitas. Each chapter may be enjoyably read as an independent essay.
The book is divided into four chapters apart from an introduction: ‘Man who Discovered India: Colonialism and the Garb of Modernity’, ‘The Citizen and the Secular State Business’, ‘Culture and the Urge towards Synthesis’, and ‘History and the Roots of the Present’.

It makes for compelling reading and resonates with haunting echoes from the past that, like flashes of lightning, suddenly illuminate painful fragments of the present that are kept hidden in some dark place.

A writer, political theorist and poet, he has taught lyric poetry and literary journalism at Ambedkar University.
