This book explores the localisation of modernity in late colonial
India. As a case study, it focuses on the hitherto untold colonial
history of Khalsa College, Amritsar, a pioneering and highly
influential educational institution founded in the British Indian
province of Punjab in 1892 by the religious minority community of
the Sikhs. Addressing topics such as politics, religion, rural
development, militarism or physical education, the study shows how
Sikh educationalists and activists made use of and 'localised'
communal, imperial, national and transnational discourses and
knowledge. Their modernist visions and schemes transcended both
imperialist and mainstream nationalist frameworks and networks. In
its quest to educate the modern Sikh - scientific, practical,
disciplined and physically fit - the college navigated between very
local and global claims, opportunities and contingencies, mirroring
modernity's ambivalent simultaneity of universalism and
particularism.
