T. M.
Krishna's 'We the People of India: Decoding a Nation's Symbols' examines the origins, histories, and cultural significances of the symbols that define modern India, from the flag to the emblem and beyond.
Drawing on his experiences as an artist and public intellectual, Krishna interrogates how these symbols have been used, appropriated, and reimagined across political contexts.
The book blends historical research with contemporary commentary to consider how symbols shape national identity and civic life.
Through accessible prose and critical reflection, Krishna encourages readers to reconsider taken-for-granted narratives about nationhood and belonging.
The work aims to foster a more inclusive and reflective understanding of India's pluralistic traditions and constitutional values.
