Lo spazio dell'India Luoghi, collocazioni, orientamenti e trasposizioni Tommaso Sbriccoli Edward Simpson ENACTING NATIONALIST HISTORY: BUILDINGS, PROCESSIONS AND SOUND IN THE MAKING OF A VILLAGE IN CENTRAL INDIA1 Abstract In questo articolo mettiamo in luce come, negli ultimi sessant’anni, alcune importanti idee relative al nazionalismo e alla religione siano state tradotte all’interno degli spazi quotidiani di un villaggio dell’India centrale. Il villaggio oggetto dell’analisi è stato studiato da Adrian Mayer negli anni cinquanta e, più recentemente, da Tommaso Sbriccoli. Ciò fornisce al nostro approccio etnografico una solida e originale dimensione diacronica. Nell’articolo suggeriamo che la religione ha sostituito la gerarchia castale come modalità principale di discussione della differenziazione sociale, e che il discorso anti-musulmano permette agli indù di casta 1 The research for this article was undertaken as part of a larger programme on which Simpson was the Principle Investigator: ‘Rural change and anthropological knowledge in post-colonial India: A comparative ‘restudy’ of F.G. Bailey, Adrian C. Mayer and David F. Pocock’. The project was based at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London and funded by the United Kingdom’s Economic and Social Research Council ( RES-062-23-3052 ). We acknowledge the contribution to our ideas made by all those who took part in seminars and workshops associated with the project. Patricia Jeffery, Tina Otten, Alice Tilche and Adrian Mayer contributed directly to the research and collective credit remains with them for the development of some of the ideas expressed here. 13 Tommaso Sbriccoli Enacting nationalist history: Buildings, Edward Simpson processions and sound in the making of a village in Central India alta di depoliticizzare, e conseguentemente nascondere, le relazioni strutturate di ineguaglianza con le caste basse.

MEENA Deputy Director Edited by S.C. SAXENA joint Director CENSUS OPERA TIONS, RAJAS THAN (i) FOREWORD The Indlan handlcrafts are known the world over for thelr rich variety, grace, elegance and skilled craftsmanship. Nevertheless, a number of handlcrafts because of thelr stiff competition with factory-made products, non-availability of raw materials, exhorbltant increase in the manufacturing cost, lack of proper marketi.ng faclliti es for fini shed products or due to a vari ety of orher reasons have either become exti nct or have reached the moribund stage. After independence, however, a number of schemes were introduced by different government agencies for thelr growth and devel~pment but still this sudden lmpetus have helped only a few crafts to flourish and thereby become spinners of forelgn exchange for the country. Despite the un~Tque V.::ition belng enjoyed by the handicrafts especial:iy in !lie j<'illm of natlonal economy, the general awareness among the people i.n the country about our crafts and craftsman' had been deplorably poor. Nothing was practically known about the commodi.ties produced, technlques employed for the manufacture of different objects, raw materials used, thelr availability l methods adopted for the sale of ffni shed products etc. An attempt was therefore, made in connecti.on with the 1961 Census to study about 150 crafts from diff!;!rent parts of the country with a view to provide basic informatlon on those crafts which were selected for the study.
