30. Mookerji was also the author of llJe Fundamental U>zit),
a/India (1914; repr., New Delhi: DC Publishers, 2005). While
it may be possible to read this text as essentially equating Indian
with Hindu culture, in the context of freedom movement discourse
it was a refutation of the common argument that British
rule was needed to unify a fragmentary society. Like Tagore,
Mookerji saw nationalism and the nation-state principle as
inimical to holism and peaceful coexistence.
