| 总结: | According to the author, the pre-eminent view of Indian nationalism has been that of an inclusionary, accomodative, consensual and popular anti-colonial struggle. This has entailed denigrating the exclusive affinities of religion as 'communal'. She believes that so long as the dominant discourse among Indians was tainted by notions of religious majoritarianism and minoritarianism there could be no hard and fast separation between 'nationalism' and 'communalism'. The author shows that far from being an irritating side-show, the inversion of the all-India majority and minority equation in Punjab was at the centre-stage of the struggle between nationalism and imperialism.
