  • Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India
    Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India Gyanendra Pandey CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Remembering Partition Violence, Nationalism and History in India Through an investigation of the violence that marked the partition of British India in 1947, this book analyses questions of history and mem- ory, the nationalisation of populations and their pasts, and the ways in which violent events are remembered (or forgotten) in order to en- sure the unity of the collective subject – community or nation. Stressing the continuous entanglement of ‘event’ and ‘interpretation’, the author emphasises both the enormity of the violence of 1947 and its shifting meanings and contours. The book provides a sustained critique of the procedures of history-writing and nationalist myth-making on the ques- tion of violence, and examines how local forms of sociality are consti- tuted and reconstituted by the experience and representation of violent events. It concludes with a comment on the different kinds of political community that may still be imagined even in the wake of Partition and events like it. GYANENDRA PANDEY is Professor of Anthropology and History at Johns Hopkins University. He was a founder member of the Subaltern Studies group and is the author of many publications including The Con- struction of Communalism in Colonial North India (1990) and, as editor, Hindus and Others: the Question of Identity in India Today (1993).

  • Prison in India: an Overview
    RESEARCH PAPER Social Science Volume : 4 | Issue : 12 | Dec 2014 | ISSN - 2249-555X Prison in India: an Overview KEYWORDS Commission, Health, Legal Aid, Prisoners, Prison Administration and Treatment. Shaik Ali Lecturer in Sociology Govt. Pre University College, Kavital Dt: Raichur- Karnataka-584120 ABSTRACT The management and administration of prisons falls exclusively in the domain of the State governments, and is governed by the Prisons Act, 1894 and the Prison manuals of the respective state governments. The prison population has been steadily increasing during the last decade. A majority of the prison population is male (nearly 96%) and approximately two-thirds are pre-trial detainees (under trials).The United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, 1955 declares that there shall be no 'discrimination on grounds of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. The present paper provides a broad overview of the international obligations and guidelines, with respect to the care of prisoners, and summarise the various steps taken towards prison reform in India. It also deals with the general problems of Indian prisons. Introduction: International Obligations and Guidelines Prisons in India, and their administration, are a state sub- The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (IC- ject covered by item 4 under the State List in the Seventh CPR) remains the core international treaty on the protec- Schedule of the Constitution of India.

  • List of Indian Meteorites
    290 List of Indian meteorites. (With Plate XII.) By C. A. SI~.RRAD, B.A., B.Sc. Indian Civil Service (retired). [Communicated by Dr. L. J. Spencer, F.R.S., read November 1, 1932.] N the suggestion of, and with much assistance from, Dr. L. J. Spencer, Keeper of Minerals in the British Museum,1 I have examined and, as far as possible, verified and corrected the recorded places of fall of all reported Indian meteorites. The original records were consulted, and as far as possible the places found on the large scale (usually 1 inch = 1 mile) maps in the India Office. This left a residuum regarding which inquiries were made of District Officers in India, to several of whom I am indebted for useful information which has been embodied in the list. In this list the falls are entered under their original names in alphabetical order by Provinces in British India, but in one list for all the Indian States, and the positions are indicated on the map (plate XII). The correct names of the places of fall are given in each case, in some only the spelling has required correction in accor- dance with the Government of India standard system, ~ in others the vernacular name has clearly been mistransliterated, and in many cases the name of the district or province has been changed since the fall. Wherever possible the exact date and time of fall, the latitude and longitude of the place thereof, and its distance from some big place or railway station have been given. i The large series of Indian meteorites preserved in the British Museum includes representatives of 86 of the 106 recorded falls, with many exceptional specimens; e.g.

  • Scarf and Sivord: Thugs, Marauders, and State-Formation in 18Th Century Malwa*
    Scarf and Sivord: Thugs, Marauders, and State-formation in 18th Century Malwa* STEWART N. GORDON Centre for South & Southeast Asian Studies, University of Michigan, U.S.A. 1. Introduction Thugi1 captured the English popular imagination in the nineteenth century as did few features of India. Bracketed with suti (widow self-immolation) and infanticide, it proved the "backward" state of India to the Utilitarians, and its need for Christianity to the Evan- gelicals. Priests thundered of the need for missionaries and Bentha- mites argued for better courts and jails. For many Englishmen, Thugi was only the most hideous and bizarre of those strange religious perversions which were the essence of India—making it alien, evil, incomprehensible, and quite frightening enough to be titillating. European official accounts of Thugi and later histories reveal almost as much colour as the novelists; yet among them there are also striking inconsistencies. Let us compare descriptions of Thugi by authors whom we might justly expect to be authoritative. First, * The ideas of this paper were first presented at the Michigan Rotating South Asia Seminar in March, 1969. With the comments and criticism of that group and the generous assistance of J. H. Broomfleld it has been substantially revised to its present form. 1. The problem of transliteration is a plague whenever foreign terms are used. I Words known in the West in one form—such as Thug, Thuggi, Bhil, Rajput—I have retained in that form, though the terms appearing in quotations will vary, i.e. : Thag, Thagi, Thaggi. Place names especially in the section on the geography of Malwa I have taken from James Tod Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan and John Malcolm A hlemoir of Central India.
