There are over a billion Indians alive today. But are some Indians more Indian than others? To answer this question, one that is central to the identity of every man, woman, and child who belongs to the modern Republic of India, eminent thinker and bestselling writer Shashi Tharoor goes deep into hotly contested ideas of nationalism, patriotism, citizenship, and belonging, to explain some of the most pressing issues confronting the country today.

“This is a refreshing, vigorous, and humane contribution to thinking about India’s identity, and building a nation that can at once do justice to India’s deep history, its constitutional promise, and its extraordinary diversity”

Pratap Bhanu Mehta
