India Editorial Review
The Avatars of Modernity by Sanjay Subrahmanyam is a well-researched and insightful exploration of Vasco da Gama's journey to India in 1498 and the impact it had on both Indian and European societies. Subrahmanyam examines how da Gama's arrival challenged existing Indian identities and created new ones while also contributing to European imperialism and colonization. The author's analysis is nuanced and complex, drawing on a range of sources including historical records, literature, and art. The book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of colonialism and its lasting effects on global culture.
