This book explores the making of colonial Northeast India and
offers a new perspective to the study of the Assamese identity in
the nineteenth century as a distinctly nineteenth-century cultural
phenomenon, not confined to linguistic parameters alone. It studies
crucial markers of the self - history, customs, food, dress, new
religious beliefs - and symbols considered desirable by the
provincial middle class and the way these fitted in with the
latter's nationalist subjectivities in the face of an emphatic
Bengali cultural nationalism. The author shows how colonialism was
intrinsically linked to the assertion of middle class
intelligentsia in the region and was instrumental in eroding the
essential malleability of societal processes nurtured by the Ahom
state. Rich with fresh research data, this book will be useful to
scholars and researchers of history, political science, area
studies, and to anyone interested in understanding Northeast India.
