A Concise History of Modern India by Barbara D. Metcalf,Thomas R. Metcalf Pdf

In a second edition of their successful Concise History of Modern India, Barbara Metcalf and Thomas Metcalf explore India's modern history afresh and update the events of the last decade. These include the takeover of Congress from the seemingly entrenched Hindu nationalist party in 2004, India's huge advances in technology and the country's new role as a major player in world affairs. From the days of the Mughals, through the British Empire, and into Independence, the country has been transformed by its institutional structures. It is these institutions which have helped bring about the social, cultural and economic changes that have taken place over the last half century and paved the way for the modern success story. Despite these advances, poverty, social inequality and religious division still fester. In response to these dilemmas, the book grapples with questions of caste and religious identity, and the nature of the Indian nation.

The Modern Anthropology of India by Peter Berger,Frank Heidemann Pdf

This reader provides a critical overview of the ethnographic work done in India since 1947. Offering quick and comprehensive access to the main themes dealt with by ethnographers in the various regions of India, it critically assesses the history of research in each region. Important questions discussed include: Which are the significant ethnographic contributions? What themes were ethnographers interested in? How are peoples, communities and cultural areas represented? How has the ethnographic research in the area developed? Furthermore, the reader includes discussion of those areas and topics neglected in the ethnographic discourse and how trends in ethnographic research have shifted are presented. In addition, the reader highlights key analytical concepts and paradigms that came to be of relevance in particular regions in the recent history of research and which possibly gained a pan-Indian or even trans-Indian significance. Another key issue of the book is thus to draw attention to the paradigms produced in regional ethnographic discourse and to focus on their influence in theoretical debates. Original contributions provide access to crucial topics in the ethnography of India by giving each chapter on a region a particular thematic accent. In order to give full recognition to the cultural diversity within each of the Indian states, each chapter follows a coherent structure without being repetitive. Each chapter contains a set of further readings. The book fills a significant gap in the literature. Structured according to the states of the Indian union, it is easily accessible. A practical reference work, it will be an invaluable resources to students and researchers in the field of a Indian anthropology, ethnography of India, regional anthropology and postcolonial studies. It will also be of interest to students of South Asian studies in general as it provides an extensive and critical overview of regionally based ethnographic activity undertaken in India.

Reproductive Politics and the Making of Modern India by Mytheli Sreenivas Pdf

Open-access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295748856 Beginning in the late nineteenth century, India played a pivotal role in global conversations about population and reproduction. In Reproductive Politics and the Making of Modern India, Mytheli Sreenivas demonstrates how colonial administrators, postcolonial development experts, nationalists, eugenicists, feminists, and family planners all aimed to reform reproduction to transform both individual bodies and the body politic. Across the political spectrum, people insisted that regulating reproduction was necessary and that limiting the population was essential to economic development. This book investigates the often devastating implications of this logic, which demonized some women’s reproduction as the cause of national and planetary catastrophe. To tell this story, Sreenivas explores debates about marriage, family, and contraception. She also demonstrates how concerns about reproduction surfaced within a range of political questions—about poverty and crises of subsistence, migration and claims of national sovereignty, normative heterosexuality and drives for economic development. Locating India at the center of transnational historical change, this book suggests that Indian developments produced the very grounds over which reproduction was called into question in the modern world. The open-access edition of Reproductive Politics and the Making of Modern India is freely available thanks to the TOME initiative and the generous support of The Ohio State University Libraries.

Makers of Modern India by Ramachandra Guha Pdf

Modern India is the world's largest democracy, a sprawling, polyglot nation containing one-sixth of all humankind. The existence of such a complex and distinctive democratic regime qualifies as one of the world's bona fide political miracles. Furthermore, India's leading political thinkers have often served as its most influential political actorsÑthink of Gandhi, whose collected works run to more than ninety volumes, or Ambedkar, or Nehru, who recorded their most eloquent theoretical reflections at the same time as they strove to set the delicate machinery of Indian democracy on a coherent and just path. Out of the speeches and writings of these thinker-activists, Ramachandra Guha has built the first major anthology of Indian social and political thought. Makers of Modern India collects the work of nineteen of India's foremost generators of political sentiment, from those whose names command instant global recognition to pioneering subaltern and feminist thinkers whose works have until now remained obscure and inaccessible. Ranging across manifold languages and cultures, and addressing every crucial theme of modern Indian historyÑrace, religion, language, caste, gender, colonialism, nationalism, economic development, violence, and nonviolenceÑMakers of Modern India provides an invaluable roadmap to Indian political debate. An extensive introduction, biographical sketches of each figure, and guides to further reading make this work a rich resource for anyone interested in India and the ways its leading political minds have grappled with the problems that have increasingly come to define the modern world.
