Review

In contrast to other recent books on globalisation, Professor Pathak's book makes good use of the writer's personal experiences to clarify and support his argument on alternative modernity, symmetrical globalisation and cultural unity. --Statesman

The book is a rewarding read for anyone whose concern is with finding positive solutions to the issues of modernity, globalisation and identity.' --Deccan Herald

The book presnts a point of view, not just critical of the official version of modernity, but a constructive, optimistic alternative to it that is closer to the agenda of a humane, egalitarian and empathetic society, modern in its flavour and symmetrical in essence. --Sociological Bulletin
