“In the modern world, nationalism is one of the most contentious ideas and concepts. It's been misused and put to use. However, it is important to distinguish between Indian nationalism and other forms of nationalism. While the former is a development of culture and spirituality, the latter could be seen as essentially political and geographical. This monograph entitled "The Cultural Identity of Contemporary Indian Nationalism" offers a pertinent and crucial contribution to the ongoing discussions around the "sense, essence, and conscience" of Indian (Bharatiya) nationalism. Rather than through political or geographical integrations, it emerged primarily through cultural and civilisational origins. This monograph examines the evolution and continuity of nationalism on a local, national, and international scale. The monograph also reexamines the current discussion, both domestically and internationally, concerning India or Bharat, as a state of civilization, a spiritual and cultural entity. Regarding India as the Mother of Democracy, with her political culture advancing democratic values, this is a highly pertinent intervention. “
