Abstract	"The author focuses on the concept and measurement of citizenship in India. He delineates the Indian discourse on citizenship from which the current concept has evolved, in three ways. The evolutionists see a seamless web that connects citizens of classical India with nagariks - the vernacular term that the Constitution employs to denote citizens - of contemporary India. Hindutva, the Khalsa, the pan-Islamic identity, or more regionally focused identities such as the Naga, Mizo, Kashmiri are examples of involution where the citizenship bonds point inwards in search of the deeper recesses of the collective self, beyond the mere rituals of food, dress, or social networks, or articles on individual rights enshrined in the Constitution. The third approach conceptualizes citizen making as a deliberate, 'rationally' designed process." (publisher's description).
