The importance of domestic service as a growing area of occupation and employment in contemporary South Asia is marked by a surprising silence about it in historical scholarship. The second volume of Servants Pasts covers the colonial and postcolonial periods. It lays out the intricate relationship between domestic work and employment in light of the growth of first, new moral regimes under colonialism and second, public avenues of employment under colonial institutions such as the municipality, school and hospital. A reformed language of intimacy, conjugality and duties developed in middle-class households, which impinged on the mistress-servant relationship while a distinct grammar of racialised distancing underpinned the relationship between Europeans and Indians. These changes redefined the social and administrative relationships between state and subjects, masters/mistresses and servants, and more broadly, between colonisers and colonised. At the heart of this book is the claim to push for a domestic turn in the writing of South Asian social history. The essays explore the making of the site of the domestic at each historical conjuncture in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by exploring its interaction with, and plotting its formation through laws, customs, norms and practices.…

India and Japan are set to make this bilateral relation as one of the most important in the future. Though expanding economic relations is important it is the strengthening of the strategic relations which has increasingly assumed greater importance since the beginning of the twenty-first century. East Asia, economically is one of the most dynamic regions in the world, hence, most major powers are interested in the developments here. Maritime security, rise of China are some of the main concerns not only for the two countries but also for the United States of America which has enormous stakes in this region. Managing relations with China and dealing with the rising stature of China in the region is a cause of concern for both India and Japan. There are several persistent problems between Japan and China which at any point of time can create a crisis situation in the region. There are also irritants and problems in the relations between India and China which often pose obstruction to the development of stable relations. By maintaining strong bilateral relations the main objective of both India and Japan is to maintain a balance of power in the region and prevent any one country from becoming too dominantThe volume consists of twelve essays. The first eight examine India-Japan relations in the context of rising China. The status of Japanese studies in India and the nature of the economic relations are dealt with in the following essays.…

Hardcover. Etat : New. The essays in Indian Sound Cultures, Indian Sound Citizenship argue that sound, from the cinema hall to the recording studio and the public festival ground, is inextricably linked to issues of citizenship, identity, and belonging in India. Together, the contributions in this volume investigate the sonic turn in the study of South Asia by understanding sound in its own social and cultural contexts, and by exploring the diverse ways in which sound has been and continues to be crucial to the ideological construction of a unifying postcolonial Indian nation-state. Integrating interdisciplinary scholarship at the nexus of sound studies and South Asian studies with questions of nation/nationalism, postcolonialism, cinema, and popular culture in India, Indian Sound Cultures, Indian Sound Citizenship offers fresh and sophisticated approaches to understanding the sonic world of the subcontinent.…
