The Maratha Period of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when an independent Maratha state successfully resisted the Mughals is a defining era in Indian history. Prachi Deshpande examines the invocation of this period in various political projects including anticolonial Hindu nationalism and the Non Brahman Movement as well as popular debates throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries over the meanings of traditions culture colonialism and modernity. Deploying a rich body of literary and cultural sources Deshpande highlights shifts in history writing in early modern Western India as well as the deep connections between historical and literary narratives. She also shows how historical memory provided a space for Indians to negotiate among their natural religious and regional identities pointing out history's pervasive potential for shaping politics within thoroughly diverse societies.

Expanding from this base the book succeeds also in showing how many significant patterns of modernity in India are produced by the interplay of cultural activities power structures and political rhetoric. 308 pp.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The 'Maratha period' of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when an independent Maratha state successfully resisted the Mughals, is a defining era in the history of the region of Maharashtra in western India. In this book, Prachi Deshpande considers the importance of this period for a variety of political projects including anticolonial/Hindu nationalism and the non-Brahman movement, as well as popular debates throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries concerning the meaning of tradition, culture, and the experience of colonialism and modernity. Sampling from a rich body of literary and cultural sources, Deshpande highlights shifts in history writing in early modern and modern India and the deep connections between historical and literary narratives. She traces the reproduction of the Maratha period in various genres and public arenas, its incorporation into regional political symbolism, and its centrality to the making of a modern Marathi regional consciousness. She also shows how historical memory provided a space for Indians to negotiate among their national, religious, and regional identities, pointing to history's deeper potential in shaping politics within thoroughly diverse societies.A truly unique study, Creative Pasts examines the practices of historiography and popular memory within a particular colonial context, and illuminates the impact of colonialism on colonized societies and cultures. Furthermore, it shows how modern history and historical memory are jointly created through the interplay of cultural activities, power structures, and political rhetoric.…
