This book was first published in Hindi under the title Hindi
Alochana mein Canon-Nirman ki Prakriya in 2015. It was acclaimed as
one of the first critical studies of the processes of canonization
(pratimanikaran) in Hindi. Indeed, the word 'canon' was used by the
author to ask a new set of questions about the development of
languages of criticism in Hindi, moving beyond the available
vocabulary of man (worth), mulya (value), pratiman (epitome), and
manak (evaluation). In the process, the theological roots of canon
formation were shown to be foundational in the making of the Hindi
critical lexicon and canon. This book presents a systematic but
critical account of the beginnings, development and history of the
process of canonization in Hindi via such exemplary figures as
George Grierson, Garcin de Tassy, Ramchandra Shukla, Hazari Prasad
Dwivedi, Ram Vilas Sharma, Muktibodh, Namwar Singh, Nirmal Verma,
and Vijaydev Narayan Sahi. It proposes an intellectual history of
Hindi criticism in the twentieth century, which today faces the
challenges of a decanonization move in the form of feminist and
Dalit thought.
