India in the 1950s. $c Gyanesh Kudaisya. 260 $a Corby : $b Oxford University Press $c 2017. 300 $a 250 p. 520 8 $a This work takes a critical look at India in the 1950s, a momentous decade in its contemporary history. It looks at the colossal challenges which India faced in its years after Independence and conveys a sense of the hopes and aspirations, dilemmas and anxieties of its political leadership. It considers the key ideas, paths, and trajectories which were articulated in these years and have left an enduring imprint upon the Republic's fabric as we know it today. The values and personalities from that decade continue to remain a frame of reference, a benchmark for public life in present-day India. The narrative on the 1950s is woven around certain key themes: the manner in which India moved away from conditions of disorder and turmoil to deal with the 'unfinished business' of Partition; the cartographic reconstruction of India as a political space; the uncertain journey of its democratic institutions; the crafting of inclusive citizenship amidst the ambiguities and anxieties surrounding the minorities; and finally, the audacious project of economic self-reliance through development planning and land reforms. 651 0 $a India $x History $y 1947- 651 0 $a India $x Economic conditions $y 1947- 651 0 $a India $x Social conditions $y 1947- 650 0 $a Nineteen fifties. 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Nineteen fifties. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01037791 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 648 7 $a Since 1947 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191120024746.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180104062702.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C6F42864F11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
