About The Book

9 February 2016 Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) erupted in anti-national' slogans. Arrests of student leaders, the shutdown of the university, a lecture series on What the Nation Needs to Know a student's disappearance, another's suicide and a number of even more disruptive protests ensued.

INU Nationalism and India's Uncivil War, by a long-standing JNU professor, is a ringside account of what happened. Delicately and incisively crafted, it is an empathetic insider's account of JNUS problems from an expert in the field of higher education. Through this book. the author makes an impassioned plea to transform rather than destroy JNU, and also reform the Indian higher education. But more than that, this book is a history of our times, of India's ongoing transformation, the story of the changing self-apprehension of a nation.

Examining the multiple meanings of nationalism in our time, Paranjape delves deeply into what it means to be Indian today. He offers his perception and understanding of the new India that is fast emerging as the nation celebrates its 75th year of Independence.
