A trenchant critic of both British Imperium and Indian militarism, Brij Mohan Anand's highly politicized aesthetic tracked aspects of India's emergence from Partition, Independence and its journey through the technological challenges of the Cold War and the complex modernity of the later twentieth century. Narratives for Indian Modernity follows the rediscovery and painstaking restoration of much of Anand's oeuvre. It offers a critical perspective on an outsider artist and maverick who eschewed the attractions and blandishments of a commercial or overseas career, but who kept witness to India's rebirth as a sovereign country and ultimately, its emergence as a regional superpower.
