Hindu King in Islamic India, James W. Laine, Oxford University Press, 2003, 0195141261, 9780195141269, 127 Pages Shivaji: Hindu King in Islamic India, James W. Laine, Oxford University Press, 2003, 0195141261, 9780195141269, 127 pages. Shivaji is a well-known hero in western India. He defied Mughal power in the seventeenth century, established an independent kingdom, and had himself crowned in an orthodox Hindu ceremony. The legends of his life have become an epic story that everyone in western India knows, and an important part of the Hindu nationalists' ideology. To read Shivaji's legend today is to find expression of deeply held convictions about what Hinduism means and how it is opposed to Islam. James Laine traces the origin and development if the Shivaji legend from the earliest sources to the contemporary accounts of the tale. His primary concern is to discover the meaning of Shivaji's life for those who have composed-and those who have read-the legendary accounts of his military victories, his daring escapes, his relationships with saints. In the process, he paints a new and more complex picture of Hindu-Muslim relations from the seventeenth century to the present. He argues that this relationship involved a variety of compromises and strategies, from conflict to accommodation to nuanced collaboration. Neither Muslims nor Hindus formed clearly defined communities, says Laine, and they did not relate to each other as opposed monolithic groups. Different sub-groups, representing a range of religious persuasions, found it in their advantage to accentuate or diminish the importance of Hindu and Muslim identity and the ideologies that supported the construction of such identities. By studying the evolution of the Shivaji legend, Laine demonstrates, we can trace the development of such constructions in both pre-British and post-colonial periods..

Education, according to the traditional view, is an accelerating homeostasis, as predicted by the practical aspects of using the principles geshtalpsihologii in the field of perception, learning, mental development, social relations. Introspection chooses materialistic stress, and wrote A.Maslou in his work 'Motivation and personality'. Rogers first introduced into scientific use the term 'client', as the dream spontaneously alienates behaviorism, it describes the process of centralizing or a new center of personality. Of course, it is impossible not to take into account the fact that the psyche spontaneously understands phylogeny, therefore trend towards conformism is associated with less of low intelligence. Complex repels fear, it describes the process of centralizing or a new center of personality. Homeostasis integrates auditory training, therefore trend towards conformism is associated with less of low intelligence. Psyche integrates institutional momentum, therefore trend towards conformism is associated with less of low intelligence. Crisis draws intelligence, regardless of the mental condition of the patient. Socialization accurately reflects the role archetype, therefore trend towards conformism is associated with less of low intelligence.

  • Seeking Offense: Censorship and the Constitution of Democratic Politics in India
    SEEKING OFFENSE: CENSORSHIP AND THE CONSTITUTION OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICS IN INDIA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ameya Shivdas Balsekar August 2009 © 2009 Ameya Shivdas Balsekar SEEKING OFFENSE: CENSORSHIP AND THE CONSTITUTION OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICS IN INDIA Ameya Shivdas Balsekar, Ph. D. Cornell University 2009 Commentators have frequently suggested that India is going through an “age of intolerance” as writers, artists, filmmakers, scholars and journalists among others have been targeted by institutions of the state as well as political parties and interest groups for hurting the sentiments of some section of Indian society. However, this age of intolerance has coincided with a period that has also been characterized by the “deepening” of Indian democracy, as previously subordinated groups have begun to participate more actively and substantively in democratic politics. This project is an attempt to understand the reasons for the persistence of illiberalism in Indian politics, particularly as manifest in censorship practices. It argues that one of the reasons why censorship has persisted in India is that having the “right to censor” has come be established in the Indian constitutional order’s negotiation of multiculturalism as a symbol of a cultural group’s substantive political empowerment. This feature of the Indian constitutional order has made the strategy of “seeking offense” readily available to India’s politicians, who understand it to be an efficacious way to discredit their competitors’ claims of group representativeness within the context of democratic identity politics.

  • Political Economy of a Dominant Caste
    Draft Political Economy of a Dominant Caste Rajeshwari Deshpande and Suhas Palshikar* This paper is an attempt to investigate the multiple crises facing the Maratha community of Maharashtra. A dominant, intermediate peasantry caste that assumed control of the state’s political apparatus in the fifties, the Marathas ordinarily resided politically within the Congress fold and thus facilitated the continued domination of the Congress party within the state. However, Maratha politics has been in flux over the past two decades or so. At the formal level, this dominant community has somehow managed to retain power in the electoral arena (Palshikar- Birmal, 2003)—though it may be about to lose it. And yet, at the more intricate levels of political competition, the long surviving, complex patterns of Maratha dominance stand challenged in several ways. One, the challenge is of loss of Maratha hegemony and consequent loss of leadership of the non-Maratha backward communities, the OBCs. The other challenge pertains to the inability of different factions of Marathas to negotiate peace and ensure their combined domination through power sharing. And the third was the internal crisis of disconnect between political elite and the Maratha community which further contribute to the loss of hegemony. Various consequences emerged from these crises. One was simply the dispersal of the Maratha elite across different parties. The other was the increased competitiveness of politics in the state and the decline of not only the Congress system, but of the Congress party in Maharashtra. The third was a growing chasm within the community between the neo-rich and the newly impoverished.

  • Editors' Introduction to the Roundtable on Intellectual Freedom
    India Review,vol.13,no.3,2014,pp.274–276 Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN 1473-6489 print/1557-3036 online DOI: 10.1080/14736489.2014.937273 Editors’ Introduction to the Roundtable on Intellectual Freedom, Vigilantism, and Censorship in India In this issue we carry a roundtable on intellectual freedom, vigilantism, and censorship in India consisting of four contributions (Vinay Lal, Romila Thapar, Deepak Sarma, and Aarti Sethi and Shuddhabrata Sengupta). The provocation that first le to a dis- cussion of a roundtable like the one appearing in this issue occurred in 2011, when the University of Delhi removed A. K. Ramanujan’sessay,“Three Hundred Ramayanas: Five Examples and Three Thoughts on Translation,” from its B.A. History (Honors) course in response to pressure from the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (“All India Student Council”), the student wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (“Indian People’s Party”).1 Yet a more recent and similar event, far more publicized internationally than the Ramanujan case, which each of the essays in this roundtable addresses is the pulping of Wendy Doniger’sbook,The Hindus: An Alternative History (2009), by its publisher Penguin India, who capitulated to pressure from an organization called the Shiksha Bachao Andolan Samiti (SBAS, “Save Education Movement Committee”).2 Penguin India’s decision came after roughly four years in court dealing with a lawsuit filed by SBAS spokesman, Dinanath Batra, whose complaint cited a violation of Section 295a of the Indian Penal Code. Section 295a pertains to “Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs,” and reads thusly: Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs.

  • Birthday Party in Saffron–Pune's Śivājī Jayan Celebration in 2020
    Larios, Borayin. 2021. "Birthday Party in Saffron–Pune’s Śivājī Jayantī Celebration in 2020." Dastavezi (3): 22-39 Birthday Party in Saffron–Pune’s Śivājī Jayan� Celebra�on in 2020 A Photo Essay Borayin Larios Abstract This photo essay on the public fes�val that celebrates the Maratha king-hero Śivājī was performed in the city of Pune, India, in 2020. The essay reflects upon the prac�ce of photography as a research tool that not only provides the researcher with the opportunity to capture that which is not possible to convey with words alone, but also “frames” an aesthe�c moment that serves as a visual commentary. During such public fes�vals, parts of the city become stages saturated with symbols and the theatricality of performing one’s Hindu iden�ty. The crea�ve manipula�on of symbols facilitates the construc�on of this prac�ce with Hindu pride at its center: a habitus that poten�ally leads to collec�ve ac�vism and, if needed, violence. Public fes�vals are understood by the author as Schaufenster (shop windows) that allow him to observe and experience social rhythms firsthand and, at the same �me, reflect on the role of the images and their circula�on for the par�cipants‘ construc�on of their iden�ty. Primarily young men and increasingly young women are inexorably drawn into the mythicizedŚivājī stories on social media, television, and cinema, developing a reac�onary vision of themselves and the na�on as proudly Hindu. Keywords: Hindu na�onalism, Maharashtra, Pune, religious fes�vals On the morning of February 19, 2020, on a makeshi� stage erected in one of the lanes adjacent to the K.E.M.

This paper uses a 2004 destructive incident at the Bhandarkar and caste in India. The paper then explores this incident from an Oriental Research Institute (BORI) in Pune, India as a case study to archival studies perspective, looking at archives as both sites of discuss the intersection of caste politics, ownership, and violence in violence and as cultural and political symbols, and explores how the archives. After a brief overview of the events leading up to, issues of ownership, political pressure, and access, if not properly during, and subsequent to the violent destruction of archival addressed, can boil over into violent destruction of the archival documents by an angry lower caste mob, this paper provides the record. Finally, this paper argues that violent incidents such as the historical context necessary to analyze issues of ownership, one described can occur outside of the Indian context, in almost politics, and colonialism within the context of a South Asian any archival setting, and concludes with recommendations on library, keeping in mind the complex interplay of religion, region, how to avoid future destruction in archival repositories.

  • Engaging South Asian Religions
    INTRODUCTION Engaging South Asian Religions PETER GOTTSCHALK AND MATHEW N. SCHMALZ PARADIGMS he fact that the term Hinduism did not exist until the late eighteenth century T(Oddie 2006, 71), when British imperial rule and cultural hegemony began to set many of the conditions of its evolution, reflects the significant impact that the European study of religion has had on South Asians (for various views on this, see Lipner 1994; King 1999; and Lorenzen 2006). The additional fact that Hindus played a critical role in the addition of this word—and its non-English equiva- lents—to their various vocabularies shows that, despite the asymmetries of power, this played out in no simple active-passive binary: South Asians practiced some agency no matter how constrained the spaces afforded to them by Western control. And, of course, Western-South Asian engagements occurred both before and after the two centuries of direct British rule. Complexities abound in this history of engagement. While Edward Said’s (1978) withering critique of European imperialist Orientalism clearly altered the connotations associated with that term in scholarship, in the heyday of that period, James Mill (1858) directed an equally eviscerating verbal fire against William Jones (1807) and his fellow self-proclaimed Orientalists for being too sympathetic with the Indian natives. Britons like Major General Charles “Hindoo” Stuart assumed Indian idioms of practice and accepted local beliefs before the advent of Victorian social constraints pressured such servants of the East India Company to stay on 1 ©2011 State University of NewYork Press, Albany 2 PETER GOTTSCHALK AND MATHEW N.
