Even stronger than its outstanding predecessor, the third edition of Understanding Contemporary India provides context for and evaluates more than a decade of challenges and changes in India.

Entirely new chapters on geography, politics, the economy, international relations, religion, and environmental challenges, along with updated material throughout (including the impact of the novel coronavirus), result in an indispensable volume that describes and analyzes the paradoxical nature of the world’s largest and most diverse democracy.
Neil DeVotta is professor of politics and international relations at Wake Forest University. Sumit Ganguly is distinguished professor of political science and holds the Tagore Chair in Indian Cultures and Civilizations at Indiana University.
