This volume explores issues of memory, remembering and language in
late colonial India. It is the first systematic historical
sociolinguistic study of English private and public citizens who
lived in and/or worked for India and the Indian cause from the
1920s to the 1940s. While some of the English have lived as common
citizens and were committed to India, their voices and
contributions have remained on the margins of Indian collective
memory. This book offers microhistorical readings of extended
language forms generally underexplored in sociolinguistics (such as
letters, telegrams, missives, and oral histories) to reorient
facets of individual memories, lives, and endeavours against larger
officialised understandings of the past. Using previously
unpublished corpus of archival material and interviews with English
private citizens from that period, this volume on historical
sociolinguistics will be of interest to scholars and researchers of
language and linguistics, South Asian studies, post-colonial
literary studies, culture studies, and modern history.
