This book provides a technological history of modern India, in particular the Nehruvian development in the context of the Cold War. Through a series of case studies about military modernization, transportation infrastructure, and electric power, it examines how the ideals of autarky and technological indigenization conflicted with the economic and political realities of the Cold War world. Where other studies tend to focus on the political leaders and economists who oversaw development, this book demonstrates how the perspective of the engineers, government bureaucrats, and aid workers informed and ultimately implemented development.

Helweg's study of the Sikh community in Gravesend provides a historical profile of this group--their cultural values, life-styles in India, the factors that led to emigration, and their experience in Britain. Entirely updated to include events through 1985, the second edition brings to light the recent transformation of British Sikhs from "immigrant" to "minority" status.
