Email: [email protected] Abstract If Indian intellectual history focussed on the nature of the colonial and post-colonial state, its interaction with everyday politics, its emerging society and operation of its economy, then how much did/ does North- East appear in this process of doing intellectual history? North-East history in general and its intellectual history in particular is an unpeopled place. In Indian social science literature, North-East history for the last seventy years has mostly revolved around separatist movements, insurgencies, borderland issue and trans- national migration. However, it seldom focussed on the intellectuals who have articulated the voice of this place and constructed an intellectual history of this region. This paper attempts to explore the intellectual history of Assam through understanding the life history of three key socio-political figures – Gopinath Bordoloi, Bishnu Prasad Rabha and Chandraprabha Saikiani.

ABSTRACT Landscaping India investigates the use of landscapes in colonial and anti-colonial representations of India from the mid-nineteenth to the early-twentieth centuries. It examines literary and cultural texts in addition to, and along with, “non-literary” documents such as departmental and census reports published by the British Indian government, popular geography texts and text-books, travel guides, private journals, and newspaper reportage to develop a wider interpretative context for literary and cultural analysis of colonialism in South Asia. Drawing of materialist theorizations of “landscape” developed in the disciplines of geography, literary and cultural studies, and art history, Landscaping India examines the colonial landscape as a product of colonial hegemony, as well as a process of constructing, maintaining and challenging it. In so doing, it illuminates the conditions of possibility for, and the historico-geographical processes that structure, the production of the Indian nation.

He quotes another important critic of Bangla literature Asrukumar Sikdar ho comments on Samaresh Basu ( hich ho ever might be applicable to other above mentioned riters as ell): *The ay Samaresh makes his repetitive negative critic of Communist activism and Party in his novels that his novels have become propagandist., 1 Deb continues to critici.e the ay these authors often feign objectivity though actually they are critical of Na0albari movement.

  • Rethinking Subalternity of the Rural Women of Sindh: a Historical Approach

    Rethinking Subalternity of the Rural Women of Sindh: a Historical Approach

    RETHINKING SUBALTERNITY OF THE RURAL WOMEN OF SINDH: A HISTORICAL APPROACH Sabah Zeb* Dr. Komal Ansari† Dr. Sumera Umrani‡ Dr. Zareen Khan Rind§ Abstract To re-conceptualize the process of construction of subordination in the lives of the women of rural Sindh, this paper analyses two contemporary stories (both fictional and real stories) of the women with reference to the history of Sindh. These stories represent the women as second sex who willingly or unwillingly subordinate to the male dominated society. To reconsider the power-politics working behind the women subordination, this study takes support from Guha and Spivakian subaltern-based theoretical argumentations as a framework. Following textual analysis, this study applies close reading method to analyse the issue of subalternity. Finally, the paper finds gender, age, class, culture, and law as some eminent factors cause subalternity in the lives of the selected rural women of Sindh. This study further argues that the issue of subalternity is constructed/developed due to assimilation, domestic colonialism, and baseless power-structure in rural areas of Sindh. Keyword: Subaltern studies, Pakistani context, rural Sindh, The Daughters of Aai. INTRODUCTION Women in rural areas of Sindh have been marginalized since ages (Zaib, 2017). Their marginalization and gender discrimination have been analysed by several scholars, researchers, thinkers, and activists in the light of numerous critical theories particularly * Visiting Faculty Assistant, IELL, University of Sindh, Jamshoro. † Associate Professor, IELL, University of Sindh, Jamshoro. ‡ Associate Professor, IELL, University of Sindh, Jamshoro. § Assistant Professor, Abida Taherani SDSC, University of Sindh, Jamshoro.
