This volume reconsiders India's 20th century though a specific
focus on the concepts, conjunctures and currency of its distinct
political imaginaries. Spanning the divide between independence and
partition, it highlights recent historical debates that have sought
to move away from a nation-centred mode of political history to a
broader history of politics that considers the complex contexts
within which different political imaginaries emerged in 20th
century India. Representing the first attempt to grasp the shifting
modes and meanings of the 'political' in India, this book explores
forms of mass protest, radical women's politics, civil rights,
democracy, national wealth and mobilization against the
indentured-labor system, amongst other themes. In linking 'the
political' to shifts in historical temporality, Political
Imaginaries in 20th century India extends beyond the
interdisciplinary arena of South Asian studies to cognate late
colonial and post-colonial formations in the twentieth century and
contribute to the 'political turn' in scholarship.
