It is an effort to understand the reasons of origin of modern architecture, factors responsible for its development and its architectural vocabulary both in world and in India. It further strives to gather the existing studies that have already been done and also intends to contribute to the present body of knowledge by identifying and defining architectural vocabulary of modern architecture of foreign modernist masters' works in India and also statistically analyse its influence on post independence Indian architecture that native architects exhibited in public domain. It is a maiden attempt to analyse the influence statistically at such an exhaustive level, which has never been done before. The book elaborates how the architecture of modern India embodied and reflected the dramatic shifts of Indian society and culture.
