  • Indian Snakes and Snaky India: British Orientalist Construction of a Snake-Ridden Landscape During the Nineteenth Century
    Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities (ISSN 0975-2935), Vol. IX, No. 2, 2017 DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.21659/rupkatha.v9n2.24 Full Text: http://rupkatha.com/V9/n2/v9n224.pdf Indian Snakes and Snaky India: British Orientalist Construction of a Snake-Ridden Landscape during the Nineteenth Century Rahul Bhaumik Department of History, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India. Email: [email protected] Received May 15, 2017; Revised July 03, 2017; Accepted July 15, 2017; Published August 11, 2017. Abstract This article explores British Orientalist construction of ‘snake-infested’ India focusing on the constitution of Orientalist discourse through the real experience of the colonisers gained in course of their extensive engagement with Indian wilderness while they began to subjugate more and more areas of the subcontinent. The main thrust of this article is to prove that, the Orientalist creation of the inferior image of venomous Indian snakes and the land they dwelled, as reflected in a range of nineteenth-century colonial literature, was definitely not a product fashioned through the Western interpretation of classical Indian texts; rather, this Orientalist understanding was inevitably fostered through the visible reality of livelihood in India and influenced by a traditional Christian sense of animosity towards snakes. This article, therefore, is a critique of the argument that scholastic construction of Orientalism derived only from the Western interpretation of scriptural accounts of the East. Keywords: Indian Snakes, British Orientalism, Wild Orient, William Shakespeare, John Milton, Satan. 1. Introduction This is an article about the British colonial encounter and Orientalist engagement with venomous Indian snakes and the land they inhabited.

    Chapter 14 Global, ‘Glocal’ and Local Dynamics in Calvary Temple: India’s Fastest Growing Megachurch Jonathan D. James 1 Introduction Satish Kumar, the founder and senior pastor of Calvary Temple in Andhra Pradesh, India is primarily known for building a gigantic church in 52 days, thus emulating the feat of the Old Testament priest Nehemiah who built the walls of Jerusalem in 52 days (Nehemiah 6: 15). Calvary Temple was built in 2011 to seat 18,000 people (complete with overflow facilities); in 2018 it has close to 200,000 members who worship in four services in the Telugu language and one in English, all on Sunday. In addition to the church, Kumar has a Bible School, conference halls, and other state-of-the-art facilities at the 12-acre property in Hyderabad. In this chapter, I describe how Calvary Temple (hereafter CT) was created, how it operates organisationally, and how the church undertakes its ministry in a nation that is not favourably disposed to Christianity. I also contemplate whether CT is navigating a new path, perhaps as a ‘trailblazer’ for the future of the Christian community in India. Having acquired the status of a megachurch, a phenomenon that emerged in the latter half of the 20th century in the West (especially in the usa) (Thum- ma, Travis and Bird 2005), CT’s size is regarded as an indicator of success. But how did CT grow so big so quickly in a Hindu nation where there were and still are increasing tensions between Hindutva forces and minority religious groups?1 I use the theoretical underpinnings of Robertson (1995) to frame my proposition that CT is a product of both globalisation and glocalisation – the latter being the connection and interplay between the global megachurch movement and the local forces at work in contemporary Indian society.

  • Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India
    A book in the series Radical Perspectives a radical history review book series Series editors: Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University Barbara Weinstein, New York University History, as radical historians have long observed, cannot be severed from authorial subjectivity, indeed from politics. Political concerns animate the questions we ask, the subjects on which we write. For over thirty years the Radical History Review has led in nurturing and advancing politically engaged historical research. Radical Perspec- tives seeks to further the journal’s mission: any author wishing to be in the series makes a self-conscious decision to associate her or his work with a radical perspective. To be sure, many of us are currently struggling with the issue of what it means to be a radical historian in the early twenty-first century, and this series is intended to provide some signposts for what we would judge to be radical history. It will o√er innovative ways of telling stories from multiple perspectives; comparative, transnational, and global histories that transcend con- ventional boundaries of region and nation; works that elaborate on the implications of the postcolonial move to ‘‘provincialize Eu- rope’’; studies of the public in and of the past, including those that consider the commodification of the past; histories that explore the intersection of identities such as gender, race, class and sexuality with an eye to their political implications and complications. Above all, this book series seeks to create an important intellectual space and discursive community to explore the very issue of what con- stitutes radical history. Within this context, some of the books pub- lished in the series may privilege alternative and oppositional politi- cal cultures, but all will be concerned with the way power is con- stituted, contested, used, and abused.
