This book argues that the seemingly intractable political problems that face India and Egypt today have their origins in the ideological and political crises of the early 20th century. The ideological solutions to the problem of national identity constructed by the early nationalists have had unforeseen and unimaginable consequences which have shaped the perceptions and political motivations of contemporary political actors.

This book is an intervention into that wider political and cultural debate.
