The book critically examines the development of indigenous cultural ideologies in South Asia, revealing their origins in nineteenth-century racial and colonial anthropology rather than a notion of untouched ethnicity. The author, Sumit Guha, explores how the seemingly fixed identities of South Asian populations were formed through interactions with neighboring civilizations. This insightful analysis not only contributes to the understanding of South Asian history but also enriches the discourse on ethnicity.
