Maharashtra in the nineteenth century exhibits all the
characteristics of a society standing at the crossroads of
civilization. Western education, press, industrialisation and
material changes in production and consumption patterns resulted in
fundamental changes in the thinking of the people. The first half
of the nineteenth century witnessed the beginning of the Postal
Service in 1837, rise and spread of the native press and
rudimentary education. The second half witnessed more dramatic
events such as the coming of the Railways and the establishment of
the of Indian National Congress that changed the destiny of the
subcontinent forever. The book takes a fresh look at the various
aspects of nineteenth century Maharashtra. It includes the
critiques and reviews of literature, language, history writing and
women's reforms in this period. It argues that the elite attempts
at social reform had their own inherent limitations. They could not
reach the level of radicality reached by the subalterns whose lived
experience of discrimination was the biggest stimulus for reform.
Mahatma Phule stands out from among a range of thinkers in this
period for his innovative understanding of the Indian reality.
Phule was one of the rare thinkers who reconciled the Indian
reality with its Universal counterpart.
