"History matters in contemporary debates on nationalism,' Sugata Bose contends in The Nation as Mother. In this interconnected set of deeply researched and powerfully argued essays and speeches Bose explores the relationship between nation, reason and religion in Indian political thought and practice.
This epic of a life larger than its legend is both intimate, based on family archives, and global in significance.
His Majesty's Opponent establishes Sugata Bose among the giants of Indian and world history. In Biblio, historian Sabyasachi Bhattacharya has praised Bose for achieving "critical distance" from his subject. Historian and editor Rudrangshu Mukherjee has called His Majesty’s Opponent a "definitive biography", adding that "in terms of sheer craftsmanship and mastery over material, this is an achievement that will evoke the admiration and envy of any historian-biographer."
