Departing from the existing historiography of Indian nationalism, it analyses the extent to which Congress elites engaged in processes intended to foster nation-building in India. Rejecting the long-standing premise that the Congress primarily sought to generate a national identity, the author hypothesizes that Congress elites knowingly grappled with the creation of a national governmentality. He argues that they distanced themselves from lethargic nation-building exercises 410 0$aRoutledge studies in South Asian history ;$v8. 606 $aNationalism$zIndia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNation-building$zIndia$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aIndia$xPolitics and government$y1919-1947 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory 615 0$aNation-building$xHistory 676 $a324.254/083 700 $aKuracina$b William F.$01556160 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792428903321 996 $aThe state and governance in India$93818667 997 $aUNINA
