The Bengali novelist Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay produced some of the most searching critical reflections on modernity in colonial India. Dr Kaviraj rejects the traditional view that Bankim was a conservative, arguing that we require a different and more complex description of the historical significance of his art. This book is intended for scholars of India's literary, political and cultural history.
