Book Description
Of matters Modern analyses the experience of modernity in South Asia. Arguing
that South Asias experience of modernity has to be understood in a global
context, the book explores a wide range of topics: the emergence of 'Assam
Fever' in colonial discourse; an experiment with fusion music in early colonial
India; The emergence of detective fiction in colonial Punjab; the search for
authenticity among nationalist and post-colonial thinkers; the critique of the
Bhadralok by a Bhadralok writer; the experience of modernity in Kolkata during
early twentieth century; the emergence of a cosmopolitan 'underworld' in Kolkata
during the nineteenth century; the Italian connections of a Bengali poet,
