Against the Nation is an invitation to explore South Asia as a
place and as an idea with a sense of refection and nuance rather
than falling prey to the taken for granted and simplistic
understanding of South Asia merely in geographic terms. To do so,
the authors take the readers across a vast terrain of possibilities
that deal with visual culture, music, film, knowledge systems and
classrooms, myth and history as well as forms of politics that
offer possibilities for understanding South Asia as a collective
enterprise that has historical precedents as well as untapped
ideological potential for the future. Further, the collection also
attempts to look at how the idea of South Asia might be theorised.
Though much of their thoughts are based on their own individual
research interests, the authors' attempt in this present collection
is to take the idea of South Asia as something that should surpass
the boundaries of nation states from the limited academic circles
in which it circulates at present to literally the `streets' of
South Asia and the world. While the authors take the nation state
for granted, they also consider its influence as a hindrance to
realising a sensible notion of what South Asia could be.
