Exploring the nature of Indian society since Independence, this book examines the implications of post-colonialism for Indian citizens through the lens of the Doon School, a prestigious boys' boarding school. The author posits that being post-colonial in India aligns with modernity, rationality, secularism, and urbanity. By situating post-colonialism within a tangible social framework, the work makes a complex subject more accessible and relatable, offering insights into the evolving identity of contemporary India.
