A number of studies of colonial Lahore in recent years have
explored such themes as the city's modernity, its cosmopolitanism
and the rise of communalism which culminated in the bloodletting of
1947. This first synoptic history moves away from the prism of the
Great Divide of 1947 to examine the cultural and social connections
which linked colonial Lahore with North India and beyond. In
contrast to portrayals of Lahore as inward looking and a world unto
itself, the authors argue that imperial globalisation intensified
long established exchanges of goods, people and ideas. Ian Talbot
and Tahir Kamran's book is reflective of concerns arising from the
global history of Empire and the new urban history of South Asia.
These are addressed thematically rather than through a conventional
chronological narrative, as the book uncovers previously neglected
areas of Lahore's history, including the links between Lahore's and
Bombay's early film industries and the impact on the 'tourist gaze'
of the consump--tion of both text and visual representation of
India in newsreels and photographs.
