Study deals with nationalism as a social and intellectual phenomenon, in its formative stage prior to the outbreak of World War I. By using 'language press' as its chief source, the book provides access to the world views and mentalities of the popular classes in north Indian society. Focuses on Uttar Pradesh which is a relatively cohesive cultural area for historical exploration. \n
