Technology and Nationalism in India: Cultural Negotiations from Colonialism to Cyberspace

摘要

This book makes important links between cyber research and cultural and political theory. It is very much worth a careful reading. Chopra makes a formidable claim in the very first line of his book: "This book examines the use of the Internet by global Indian communities for the promotion of Hindu nationalist ideologies, a phenomenon I term "technocultural Hindu Nationalism," with reference to the relationship between technology and nationalism in India from the era of British colonial rule in the mid-18th century to the present era of an economically and technologically interconnected world" (p. 2).
