Modern dance is explored as a means of embodied resistance against political and cultural nationalism in India, focusing on the contributions of five influential dance makers: Rabindranath Tagore, Uday Shankar, Shanti Bardhan, Manjusri Chaki Sircar, and Ranjabati Sircar. The book delves into how their works challenge and redefine national identity through innovative dance practices, highlighting the intersection of art and activism in the context of Indian society.
