Abstract
Contemporary India is intriguing, if not outright incomprehensible. Its past is even murkier and its future indeed quite unpredictable. Sugata Bose's and Santosh Mehrotra's recent volumes on India trace and explain India's relationship with larger social orders, one during British tutelage and the other with the more recent Soviet system. Bose's book on South Asia situates the complexities of India in a long historical context, while Mehrotra's volume analyzes Indo-Soviet relations during the 1970-85 period. Standing on their own, these two books are quite unrelated. However, posing certain questions not only allows us to integrate them but also assists us in evaluating India's relationship to the economic and political order outside its national boundaries.
