  This collection of essays by leading social scientists focuses on development in India to explore the emergence of regional modernities in ways that are distinct from a so-called global modernity and its myriad local variations. The authors emphasize the continued importance of the nation-state, as it enacts development projects and policies, in considering regional formations of modernity.
