Cake Cutting - Kaamna Patel Created with black ink onBy examining the practice of cutting cake that is still popular in India, the book attempts to expose the inherent hypocrisy behind nationalist narratives that call for authenticity of identity, often placed in opposition to the adoption of Western culture. The act of cake cutting can be viewed as a metaphor for imperial policies and communal conflict, for example violent divisions of land or more symbolic forms of division along socio economic lines.
