"One of the world's great historians, unrivalled in his ability to master and synthesize vast historical literatures." - Jeet Heer, New Republic "Exposes some substantial faultlines in recent Indian writing about India and with some justice question the emerging concensus around India's democratic successes" - David Arnold, Times Literary Supplement (Praise for The Indian Ideology) "Anderson's essays are well sourced and artfully crafted, offering a comprehensive history of India's ideology" - Yahya Chaudhry, Jacobin (Praise for The Indian Ideology) "Perry Anderson's new book, The Indian Ideology, is a magnificent achievement. It is a product of his ability, near-unique in today's world of ideas, to distill a country's history and politics into a few thousand words that are at once combative and informative" - Mihir S Sharma, Business Standard (Praise for The Indian Ideology) "Once in a while in any field of study, a book appears that can be called path breaking in terms of the quality of its critical review of the existing body of knowledge in that field and setting a new research agenda. This is one of those books in the field of Indian/South Asian studies" - Pritam Singh, Socialist Resistance (Praise for The Indian Ideology).
