Compromise and Contradiction in Jawaharlal Nehru's Multicultural Indian * Nation Vikram Seth's Real(ist) India * Parodying Nehru in Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children and The Moor's Last Sigh* All in the Family: Nayantara Sahgal's Indian Home * Re-Examining Indian Non-Alignment: Arundhati Roy?s The God of Small Things * States of Dystopia: Imagining Future Indias in Ruchir Joshi?s The Last Jet-Engine Laugh * Unity inDiversity Beyond the Nation-State in Rupa Bajwa?s The Sari Shop.

This book discusses selected works by six contemporary Indian novelists writing in English ? Vikram Seth, Salman Rushdie, Nayantara Sahgal,Arundhati Roy, Ruchir Joshi and Rupa Bajwa ? all of whom have made theIndian nation a central theme in their fiction. All these writers respond, in varying ways, to the idea of India as united in diversity, a construct most readily associated with the nationalist vision of Jawaharlal Nehru, India?s first prime minister. In considering India?s past andlooking towards the future, they struggle with and attempt to extend the available language of cultural diversity.
