Questioning a range of long-held cultural representations on India, the book challenges such portrayals and underscores the centrality of context and contingency in any cultural explanation of state behaviour. It argues for a historico-cultural understanding of power and critiques IR's tendency to usher in a selective 'return of history'. 410 0$aWar and international politics in South Asia ;$v4. 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aPostcolonialism 607 $aIndia$xForeign relations$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aPostcolonialism. 676 $a327.54 700 $aVivekanandan$b Jayashree.$0858755 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462541803321 996 $aInterrogating international relations$91916836 997 $aUNINA
