Conclusions.Individuality is often viewed as an exclusively Western value. In non-Western societies, collective identities seem to eclipse those of individuals.

This book weaves together personal life stories, historical description, and theoretical analysis to define individuality in South Asia and to distinguish it from its Western counterpart.National characteristics, East IndianNational characteristics, East IndianRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle EastHILCCHistory & ArchaeologyHILCCSouth AsiaHILCCIndia, SouthSocial life and customsNational characteristics, East Indian.National characteristics, East IndianRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle EastHistory & ArchaeologySouth Asia954/.8Mines Mattison1941-1233946DLCDLCBOOK9910495878803321Public faces, private voices2866082UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
