  • 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).

  • 400 Years of Decline?: Understanding the Changing Structure of The
    400 Years of Decline?: Understanding the Changing Structure of the South Indian Textile Industry Ian C. Wendt* Historical narratives about economies and societies exert powerful influences on the ways we interpret the past. Of course historical narratives analyze continuity and change over time. But additionally, historical narratives also make subjective value judgments regarding the nature of change and continuity. The world is constantly changing. Within the context of complex transitions, such as industrialization, historians may evaluate change and continuity in powerful, conflicting, value based terms. This paper will compare the ways historians from different regional and national historical traditions across Asia have valued and characterized industrialization. Characterizations of decline, stagnation, growth, transformation, agency and oppression stem from subjective judgments that about changing economies. The parameters, plot and discourse of many historical analyses of industrialization are powerfully influenced by the broader dominant national or regional narratives. This article compares historical narratives about the textile industries of Japan, Southeast Asia and India during the 18th and 19th centuries. It then utilizes that broad context to specifically examine the changing structure of the textile industry in South India during that * Washington State University, USA. Email: [email protected] .

Datta [email protected] Professor Samita Sen [email protected] The Hindu, Independence Day cover, 15 August 1947, Centre of South Asian Studies Archive 1 READING LIST: 2020-21 The History of The Indian Subcontinent from the Late Eighteenth Century to the Present Day Course description A fifth of the world's population lives in the Indian subcontinent. While today the region’s place in the global world order is widely recognised, this is in fact only the most recent chapter in a longer history. This paper offers an understanding of the part played by the Indian subcontinent and its people in the making of the modern world. From the decline of the great empire of the Mughals and the rise of British hegemony, to the rise of nationalism, the coming of independence and partition, the consolidation of new nation states despite regional wars and conflicts, and the emergence of India as the largest democracy in the world, this paper is a comprehensive and analytical survey of the subcontinent's modern history. The paper covers the dynamic and complex relationships between changing forms of political power and religious identities, economic transformations, and social and cultural change in the period from 1757 to 2007. Teaching There will be 30 lectures, 4 revision classes in the Easter Term. Supervisions will be centrally arranged by the convenors and students will be informed directly.

    Reading Subaltern Studies Critical History, Contested Meaning and the Globalization of South Asia DAVID LUDDEN Anthem Press , INTRODUCTION A Brief History of Subalternity DAVID LUDDEN UBALTERN STUDIES1 began its impressive career in England at the end of the 1970s, when conversations on subaltern themes S among a small group of English and Indian historians led to a proposal to launch a new journal in India. Oxford University Press in New Delhi agreed instead to publish three volumes of essays called Subaltern Studies: Writings on South Asian History <andSociety. These appeared annually from 1982 and their success stimulated three more volumes in the next five years, all edited by Ranajit Guha. When he retired as editor in 1989, Ranajit Guha and eight collaborators2 had written thirty-four of forty-seven essays in six Subaltern Studies vol- umes, as well as fifteen related books.3 By 1993, the group he remem- bers as originally being 'an assortment of marginalised academics'4 had sufficient international prestige for a Latin America Subaltern Studies Group to be inspired !by this interdisciplinary organisation of South Asian scholars led by Ranajit Guha.'5 Today, eleven (and counting) Subaltern Studies volumes have appeared. They include essays by forty-four authors whose allied publications apprpach two hundred, including translations in several languages,6 yet the core group still includes eight founders7 and Ranajit Guha's 'intellectual driving force'8 is still visible.

  • (Re-)Imagining the Nation: the Indian Historical Novel in English, 1900-2000
    Negotiating History, (Re-)imagining the Nation: The Indian Historical Novel in English, 1900-2000 by Md. Rezaul Haque Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics (The University of Sydney, 2004) Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English, Creative Writing and Australian Studies Flinders University, South Australia June 2013 1 Table of Contents Introduction (6-45) Chapter 1 (46-92) Fiction, History and Nation in India Chapter 2 (93-137) The Emergence of Indian Historical Fiction: The Colonial Context Chapter 3 (138-162) Revivalist Historical Fiction 1: Padmini: An Indian Romance (1903) Chapter 4 (163-205) Revivalist Historical Fiction 2: Nur Jahan: The Romance of an Indian Queen (1909) Chapter 5 (206-241) Nationalist History Fiction 1: Kanthapura (1938) Chapter 6 (242-287) Nationalist History Fiction 2: The Lalu Trilogy (1939-42) Chapter 7 (288-351) Feminist History Fiction: Some Inner Fury (1955) Chapter 8 (352-391) Interventionist History Fiction: The Shadow Lines (1988) Chapter 9 (392-436) Revisionist Historical Fiction: The Devil’s Wind (1972) Conclusion (437-446) Bibliography (447-468) 2 Thesis Summary As the title of my project suggests, this thesis deals with Indian historical fiction in English. While the time frame in the title may lead one to expect that the present study will attempt a historical overview of the Indian historical novel written in English, that is not a primary concern. Rather, I pose two broad questions: the first asks, to what uses does Indian English fiction put the Indian past as it is remembered in both formal history and communal memory? The second question is perhaps a more important one so far as this project is concerned: why does the Indian English novel use the Indian past in the ways that it does? There is as a consequence an intention to move from the inner world of Indian historical fiction to the outer space of the socio-political reality from which the novel under consideration has been produced.
