Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuality is often viewed as an exclusively Western value. In non-Western societies, collective identities seem to eclipse those of individuals.

This book weaves together personal life stories, historical description, and theoretical analysis to define individuality in South Asia and to distinguish it from its Western counterpart.
