India as a Federation of Nationalities

Several interesting debates took place on the idea of India as a federation of nationalities as opposed to the idea of a singular Indian nation, both in English and Telugu in the then Madras Presidency in the first half of the twentieth century. The importance of bringing back these debates into the public domain at a time when political discourse has been increasingly geared towards the consolidation of an aggressive singularly homogenous Hindu India, cannot be minimised.
