Who gets to complain about the loss of the idea of India? Whose lament for India gets recorded? Who contributes of the socio-territorial image of India and of the India-concept? India at the Limits argues that we don’t know what India is except through a vast tapestry of language, communication, signs, and symbols that are widely amplified in the public spheres. Throughout nine discussions of art, film, music, and more, contributors explore the theoretical limits, boundaries, and liminal spaces that impact perceptions of India's cultural production both inside and outside its geographical border. Ultimately, readers are able to view India outside of typical state-driven formations, offering instead an ecosystem of signs and signposts to ground cultural understanding.
