"The destruction of the Babri Masjid at Ayodhya in December 1992 is a watershed in the politics of independent India. This book narrates how Ayodhya's inhabitants experienced the events that led up to and followed the destruction. It argues that the chain of events they describe is the end-product of a century's efforts to convert Hindus into a 'proper' modern nation and a conventional ethnic majority. Woven into the narrative is an analysis of the culture of communal conflict, the nature of organized mass violence, and the political psychology of Hindu nationalism.".…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Modernity, its Pathologies and Reenchantments is a tribute to one of the most creative contemporary Indian intellectuals, Ashis Nandy, and celebrates his contribution as a theorist, particularly his exploration of the modern self. As an intellectual, Nandy s object of inquiry is modernity itself, both in the West and the non-West. Even as his focus has been on the pathologies of modernity, his work also allows us to visualise a different future. This volume highlights that duality: the essays discuss the problems and pathologies of modernity, while also showing us alternative pathways to the desacralisation and disenchantment in the world. The book is divided into two sections: Pathologies of Modernity, and Reenchantments of Modernity. In a detailed Introduction, Shail Mayaram draws on Nandy s work of over forty eyars and examines his reflections on colonisation and de-colonisation; nationalism and Hindutva; secularism and cosmopolitanism; knowledge systems and the relation to Freud; and the gender question. The chapters together address Nandy s view of categories such as civilisation, community and identity, as well as his critique of history and call for an alternative to history. The contributors deepen our understanding of the pathologies of modernity and reflect on spaces that have been resistant to modernity, and can therefore be potential sources of reenchanting our world.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Reassessing conventional South Asian historiography from a subaltern perspective, Against History, Against State examines how conceptions of history and memory clash. For nearly a millennium, the Meos of northwest India -- one of the largest Muslim populations in South Asia -- endured a succession of brutally oppressive regimes, from the Arab conquest in the eighth century through the establishment of the Turkish Sultanate, the Mughal Empire, the regional Rajput kingdoms, and the era of British imperialism. Unwilling to abandon their ethnic and religious identity, the Meos developed an independent oral tradition that enabled them to challenge state formation for centuries. By creating an alternate record of their past through songs and stories, the Meos were able to successfully retain a degree of cultural sovereignty. But their quest for autonomy was stigmatized, even criminalized, while histories -- written by the literate, ruling elite -- transformed ethnic prejudice into historical fact. This pioneering study, based on a decade of intensive research, explores the Meo community through their oral tradition, revealing sophisticated modes of collective memory and self-governance. Against History, Against State reveals the remarkable complexity and resilience of a transgressive culture that has survived on the margins of Hinduism and Islam.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Nationalism is among the most influential ideas that has shaped the 'Metamorphoses of the Political' in the long twentieth century. This book focuses on exclusivist Indian nationalism and identifies its distinction from inclusivist nationalism. It highlights shifts in 'another Indian nationalism' over the last two centuries as the geopolitical context has transitioned from the Pax Britannica to the Pax Americana and its war on terror. The books braids the following three strands together: first, a majoritarian nationalist ideology called Hindutva; second, the making of popular history as a precolonial epic is highlighted, depicting the defeat of the last Hindu Emperor by a conquering Muslim Sultan purportedly leading to eight centuries of Hindu enslavement and third, the 'reconversion' of a community by the Visva Hindu Parishad with consequences for Lived Hinduism and Indic civilisation with its complex identities.…
