Political Imaginaries in Twentieth-Century India (Paperback)

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.
