India Dreams focuses on the generation that epitomizes Indias’s entry in the global market. Based on fieldwork in Delhi among young “middle class” men who construct their role in society by promoting themselves as brokers in the ongoing exchanges between India and the outer world, it is an exploration into the realm of cultural identity. Focussing on the role played by imagination in every-day life, the study addresses issues of identity-making, of masculinity, sex and love, and of urban space. The book offers a window onto the world where images of “India”, “Indianness” and “traditionality” are becoming popular markers of “global” and “modern” stances.
