Region, Nation, "Heartland": Uttar Pradesh in India's Body Politic (SAGE Series in Modern Indian History) - Softcover
This book traces the importance of Uttar Pradesh (UP) as a political "heartland" of India over the last century and highlights its influence on Indian politics. In unraveling this constructed identity of the state, this book analyzes the transformation that UP experienced as a "region" within India in the late colonial and post-colonial periods. The author discusses the construction of the state under three identity categories: colonial heartland; nationalist heartland; and post-colonial heartland. The conclusions drawn from this study serve to evaluate the extent to which the framework and construct of the "heartland" has worked for the well-being of the state and society in contemporary India.

Review:
Kudaisya’s survey of literature and official documents is commendably meticulous. The epilogue, a political chronology, and biographical notes on key political figures, all serve as additional reference tools.... the book presents a valuable perspective on the political history of UP, and the vast literature on the subject, and as such, is a must read for students of modern Indian history and colonial/post-colonial politics in UP and on the subcontinent.
