Digs quite deep into the rise of nationalism and terrorism in India, how it was used to indirectly affect British decisions in the region. The last essay was a bit out of it - for some reason we were suddenly exploring how myths form national consciousness and politics. That would've been fine if there had just been an explanation on why this was needed to understand the context because it does not connect with the rest of the essays in the book. Other that, a pretty interesting read.
