This paper tries to capture the tension between the local or regional accounts and the new nationalist narrative in postcolonial India. The paper tries to show how the description of a complex life such as Gurdit Singh through the prism of ‘Indian nationalism’ alone carries the risk of making him one-dimensional skeleton, thereby distorting reality and proper context of a life that had a rich bearing of religious, cultural and regional influences
