This classic study of the national movement and popular politics in modern India focuses on the less known facets of the struggle at the village, region, and provincial levels. In his introduction, Low highlights the transition from elite to popular historiography by dwelling on the ability of the Congress to win over peasant communities which ironically the British had enfranchised. A Foreword by historian Rajat Kanta Ray both situates the work and provides a current context.
