Changing India: Bourgeois Revolution on the Subcontinent

Although much has changed since the first edition's original publication, Robert Stern retains his belief in the remarkable continuity of India's institutions. This comprehensive introduction to modern India covers its caste and class systems; venerable faiths and extraordinary ethnic diversity; imperial past and post-Independence contribution to the global economy. Stern demonstrates throughout this study why India remains the most enduring democracy in the developing world. First Edition Hb (1993): 0-521-42105-5 First Edition Pb (1993); 0-521-42106-3
