South Asia is famous for its monuments, past and present. Monuments
have been created, destroyed and rescued by competing communities
and incoming empires in the making and re-making of history,
identity and memory. This collection brings together an
international cohort of senior scholars and younger researchers to
examine the vast diversity of monuments (and conceptions of
monuments) in South Asia from the 1850s to the present. The
chapters investigate what constitutes a monument, and interrogate
the conditions for its survival, demise or recycling. To explore
the afterlives of monuments is to investigate how, where, when, and
why monuments have been remodelled, re-sited, destroyed, defaced,
or abandoned. It is to investigate the theories of memory, history
and community, as well as new forms of artistic practice and global
media. As different South-Asian communities claim a stake in the
making of national, religious, cultural and local identities and
histories, the status of monuments and debates about cultural
memory have become increasingly urgent. This book was published as
a special issue of South Asian Studies.
