The Construction of History and Nationalism in India: Textbooks, Controversies and Politics - Routledge Advances in South Asian Studies 1st edition
Guichard, Sylvie (University of Geneva, Switzerland)
This book centres on the construction, elaboration and negotiation of the narratives that have become official history in India. It demonstrates the conception of the school textbook as a site of national construction and more generally highlights the problematic link between historiography, nation-state and nation-building.
