This book attempts to understand the dominant structure of social consciousness in modern India through a comprehensive analysis of literary and social texts generated in late-nineteenth century. It examines responses to Western ideals that influenced concepts of the individual, the family, the position of women, religious/caste differences and social hierarchy in the colonial period.
