Ahmedabad

shock city of twentieth-century India

Edición de la obra Ahmedabad

Focusing on key figures in the business and political life of the city. Howard Spodek explores three important eras in the modern history of Ahmedabad and of India as a whole: the Gandhian independence movement; the early national period of industrial development and Westernization; and the highly sectarian politics of recent decades, which have coincided with globalization and India's commercial boom. In each period, Ahmedabad has played a key role, and it also illustrates trends and tensions at work throughout Indian society.
