N2  - The essays in this volume seek to combine empirical study of specific themes pertaining to late-colonial Indian history with interventions in current debates on the extent and nature of Western cultural domination. They range from a study of liberal British attitudes to essays on Vidyasagar and Ramakrishna; from the relevance of E.P. Thompson to the decline of the subaltern in Subaltern Studies; from a village scandal in Bengal to the evolving urban landscape of its capital, Calcutta." "This book, by one of India's most distinguished historians, will be of great value to all who are interested in modern Indian history, cultural studies, gender issues, and the relationship of historiography to contemporary theoretical work
