This book sheds new light on the dynamics of the colonial encounter
between Britain and India. It highlights how various analytical
approaches to this encounter can be creatively mobilised to rethink
entanglements of memory and identity emerging from British rule in
the subcontinent. This volume reevaluates central, long-standing
debates about the historical impact of the British Raj by deviating
from hegemonic and top-down civilizational perspectives. It focuses
on interactions, relations and underlying meanings of the colonial
experience. The narratives of memory, identity and the legacy of
the colonial encounter are woven together in a diverse range of
essays on subjects such as colonial and nationalist memorials;
British, Eurasian, Dalit and Adivasi identities; regional political
configurations; and state initiatives and patterns of control. By
drawing on empirically rich, regional and chronological historical
studies, this book will be essential reading for students and
researchers of history, political science, colonial studies,
cultural studies and South Asian studies.
