  • 1 Crushed by English Poetry 2 Tradition: Orthodox and heretical 3 Defining the nation Conclusion / This book attempts to understand the dominant structure of social consiousness in modern India. Prof. Chandra's sources are primarily the texts-literary and texts-social generated in Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati and Marathi over the later colonial period. He analyses responses of Indian intelligentsia and Indian literati - Indian writers like Chatterji, Bankimchandra, Tagore, Rabindranath, Harishchandra, Bharatendu, Dutt, R. C. and Ranade, M. G. and others-to Western notions which modified indigenuous ideas on the hindu individual, women's issues, hindu family and influenced the mentality of Indian writers and the intellectual history of modern India.
