This book studies places and spaces in Western India both as
geographical locations and as imagined constructs. It uncovers the
rich history of the region from the perspective of places of
pilgrimage, commerce, community, expression and indigeneity. The
volume examines how spaces are intrinsically connected to the lived
experiences of people. It explores how spaces in Western India have
been constructed over time and how these are reflected in both
historical and contemporary settings - in the art, architecture,
political movements and in identity formation. The rich examples
explored in this volume include sites of Bhakti and Sufi
literature, Maharashtrian-Sikh identity, Mahanubhav pilgrimage,
monetary practices of the Peshwas and the internet as an
emancipatory space for the Dalit youth in Maharashtra. The chapters
in this book establish and affirm the forever evolving cultural
topography of Western India. Taking a multidimensional approach,
this book widens the scope of academic discussions on the theme of
space and place. It will be useful for scholars and researchers of
history, cultural studies, geography, the humanities, city studies
and sociology.
