This book examines the representation of Birsa's political life,
memory politics and the making of anticolonialism in contemporary
Jharkhand. It offers contrasting features of political imaginations
deployed in developing memorial landscapes. Framing of Birsa in the
heroic narrative through a grand scale of memorialisation, often in
the form of the built environment, curates a selective version.
This isolates the scope of elaborating his political ideas outside
the confines of atypical historical records and their relevance in
the contemporary context. The book argues that everyday politics
through affective sites such as memorials and statues produce
political visions, emotions, and opportunities. It shows how such
symbolic sites are often strategically placed and politically
motivated to inscribe ideologies. This process outlines how the
state and Adivasi use memory as a political tool to lay claims to
the past of the Birsa Movement.
