It explores the ways in which other civilizations, particularly those from the global South, have contributed significantly to the project of modernity. Arguing against the classical scholarship of Marx, Durkheim, and Weber, which posited that ethnic and nationalist identities would weaken in the process of modernization, the author examines how ethnicity and nationalism have, in fact, become more prominent in recent times. This work interrogates the relationship between modernization and ethnicity at both the theoretical and empirical levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also delves into the issue of nationalism, arguing for its essential connection to the larger theme of modernity. The section on tribal development, particularly in Northeast India, critically examines the complexities and challenges faced in the development of tribal communities. This book is essential for anyone studying the intersections of modernity, ethnicity, and development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngaging with Modernity: Need for a Critical Negotiation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContesting the European Origins of Modernity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModernization and Ethnicity: Interrogating Different Theoretical Perspectives\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEthnicity, Nationalism and Modernity: Exploring the Linkages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGellnerian Theory of Nation and Nationalism: A Critical Appraisal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEthnicity, Famine and the State\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModernization and Ethnicity: The Context of Telugus in Bengaluru\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterrogating Development\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTribal Development: Issues, Movements and Interventions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIssues and Challenges in Tribal Development: A Perspective from the North-East India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eState and Civil Society: The Context of Mizoram\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eD.V.
