%X this paper examines the work of ashis nandy, one of indian's foremost contemporary intellectuals, a social psychologist, psychoanalyst and political scientist, responsible for developing what he calls a ¡®critical traditionalism.' adopting a broad conception of indian civilization in which modernity poses an explicit threat (and, more ambiguously, an implicit element), nandy's discussion of personality and the individual is crucial at various levels - in particular theoretical - to understanding india and developing a theory of civilization. one of the prominent features of his discussion is the multiple composition of the self and its relations to both indian and western civilizations.
