  • Pakistani Nationalism and the State Marginalisation of the Ahmadiyya Community in Pakistan
    Sadia Saeed: Pakistani Nationalism and the State Marginalisation of the Ahmadiyya Community in Pakistan Pakistani Nationalism and the State Marginalisation of the Ahmadiyya Community in Pakistan Sadia Saeed University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA Abstract This paper examines the relationship between nationalism, state formation, and the marginalisation of national minorities through an historical focus on Pakistani state’s relationship with the Ahmadiyya community, a self-defined minority sect of Islam. In 1974, a constitutional amendment was enacted that effectively rendered the Ahmadiyya community a non-Muslim minority, in spite of claims by the community that it was Muslim and hence not a minority. This paper attempts to account for this anti-Ahmadiyya state legislation by arguing that the genealogy of the idea of a Pakistani state is key for understanding the politics of exclusion of the Ahmadiyya community from ‘Muslim citizenship’ – that is, who is and isn’t a Muslim. Introduction This paper explores the relationship between nationalism, state formation, and the marginalisation of national minorities. In the literature on the nation and nationalism, the relationship between state formation and nationalist exclusions is often under-theorised, with the implicit assumption made that processes of nation building occur independently of the construction of state institutions. Many works have shown the pitfalls of this neglect by demonstrating that the articulation of nationalist ideologies, and the processes which take place in the national community as a result of such nationalisms, are either aided by, or are articulated in response to, the formation of state institutions and practices of social closure (Brubaker 1992; Balibar 2004; Omi and Winant 1994).

  • USC Pacific Asia Museum Presents, Following the Box, Exhibition Inspired by a Collection of Found Photographs
    Following the Box September 13, 2019 – January 26, 2020 Exhibition inspired by a collection of found photographs taken in India during WWII USC Pacific Asia Museum 46 N Los Robles Ave Pasadena, CA 91101 Sunandini Banerjee, Untitled, Digital collage printed on archival paper, 23 x 36 inches USC Pacific Asia Museum is pleased to present Following the Box. Organized by guest curators Jerri Zbiral and Alan Teller, Following the Box includes contemporary art by Indian artists inspired by a collection of found photographs taken in India by an unknown U.S. serviceman towards the end of World War II. In 1945, an American soldier stationed in India took a series of photographs depicting everyday life in West Bengal. Nearly sixty years later, curators Jerri Zbiral and Alan Teller discovered the box of 127 large format negatives and prints at a Chicago-area estate sale and were struck by the sensitivity and skill evident in the images. The photographs are carefully composed and include thoughtful portraits of Bengali residents. After several years of research, the curators determined through clues in the images and handwritten notes on the photograph’s edges that the photographs were taken in West Bengal. The photographer is still unknown. After a research trip to the region, the curators decided to invite a group of Indian artists to create artworks responding to the photographs as well as make pieces of their own. The resulting exhibition, Following the Box, features painting, collage, film, illustration, and multimedia work. Each piece draws inspiration from the original photographs, exploring the elusive nature of memory, political and military histories, and cultural identity.

  • Indian Politics and Society Since Independence: Events, Processes
    Indian Politics and Society since Independence This book focuses on politics and society in India. It explores new areas enmeshed in the complex social, economic and political processes in the country. Linking structural characteristics with broader sociological context, the book emphasizes the strong influence of sociological issues on politics, such as the shaping of the social milieu and the articulation of the political in day-to-day events. Political events are connected with the ever-changing social, economic and political proc- esses in order to provide an analytical framework to explain ‘peculiarities’ of Indian politics. The main argument of the book is that three major ideological influences have provided the foundational values of Indian politics: colonialism, nationalism and democracy. The colonial, nationalist and democratic articulation of the political have shaped Indian politics in a complex way. Structured themati- cally, with a multitude of pedagogical features, this work is a useful text for stu- dents of political science, sociology and South Asian Studies. Bidyut Chakrabarty is Professor of the Department of Political Science at the University of Delhi. His main research areas are public administration and mod- ern Indian political thought. He has published extensively on the subjects, and is the author of The Partition of Bengal and Assam, 1932–47 (Routledge, 2004), Social and Political Thought of Mahatma Gandhi, 1933–1943 (Routledge, 2006), Forging Power: Coalition Politics in India (Oxford University Press, 2006),
