Nation, community, religion, and language are the main themes which run through this volume of Subaltern Studies. Among the topics discussed in Volume VII are the identification of the narrative modes though which the nationalist consciousness in India imagined a historical past for the nation, a look at the way the new middle class of Calcutta constructed the figure of Sri Ramakrishna, the use of caste sanctions in the Swadeshi and Non-cooperation movements, and the writings of Tagore, Gandhi and Nehru.
