The book begins by examining the early years of modern art in India, when artists such as Raja Ravi Varma and Abanindranath Tagore were influenced by both Western and Indian traditions. These artists helped to create a new hybrid style of art that reflected the unique cultural identity of India.

As India moved towards independence in the mid-20th century, artists began to use their work to express their political and social views. Artists such as Amrita Sher-Gil and M.F. Husain used their work to challenge colonial rule and to assert the dignity of the Indian people.

After India gained independence in 1947, artists continued to use their work to explore the challenges and opportunities of the new nation. Artists such as Jyoti Bhatt and Bhupen Khakhar used their work to examine the social and economic changes that were taking place in India.

In recent years, Indian artists have continued to use their work to engage with the complex issues facing the country. Artists such as Subodh Gupta and Anish Kapoor have used their work to explore issues such as globalization, consumerism, and environmental degradation.

Modern Art and India: Long Decolonization, South Asia in Motion is a major contribution to the study of modern art and the history of India. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of modern art in India and its relationship to the country's decolonization process. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in modern art, Indian history, or postcolonial studies.
