Описание: This book offers a focused examination of the Bengali Vaisnava tradition in its manifold forms in the pivotal context of British colonialism in South Asia.
Описание: In 1839 a group of Hindu elite gathered in Calcutta to share and propagate their faith in a non-idolatrous form of worship. The group, known as the Tattvabodhini Sabha , met weekly to worship and hear discourses from members on ways to promote a rational and morally responsible mode of worship.
From approximately the third century BCE through the thirteenth century CE, the remote mountainous landscape around the glacial sources of the Ganga (Ganges) River in the Central Himalayas in northern India was transformed into a region encoded with deep meaning, one approached by millions of Hindus as a primary locus of pilgrimage.
Nachiket Chanchani’s innovative study explores scores of stone edifices and steles that were erected in this landscape. Through their forms, locations, interactions with the natural environment, and sociopolitical context, these lithic ensembles evoked legendary worlds, embedded historical memories in the topography, changed the mountain range’s appearance, and shifted its semiotic effect. Mountain Temples and Temple Mountains also alters our understanding of the transmission of architectural knowledge and provides new evidence of how an enduring idea of India emerged in the subcontinent.

Описание: This book traces the lives of religious sculptures beyond its creation. The study highlights contentious issues in Indian archaeology such as: renegotiating identities of religious images, reuse and sharing of sacred space by adherents of different faiths, rebuilding of temples and consequent reinvention of sites where these images were located.

Описание:
The subject of medicalisation of childbirth in colonial India has so far been identified with three major themes: the attempt to reform or 'sanitise' the site of birthing practices, establishing lying-in hospitals and replacing traditional birth attendants with trained midwives and qualified female doctors.
This book, part of the series The Social History of Health and Medicine in South Asia, looks at the interactions between childbirth andmidwifery practices and colonial modernities. Taking eastern India asa case study and related research from other areas, with hard empiricaldata from local government bodies, municipal corporations anddistrict boards, it goes beyond the conventional narrative to showhow the late nineteenth-century initiatives to reform birthing practiceswere essentially a modernist response of the western-educatedcolonised middle class to the colonial critique of Indian socioculturalcodes. It provides a perceptive historical analysis of how institutionalisationof midwifery was shaped by the debates on the women's question, nationalism and colonial public health policies, all intersecting inthe interwar years. The study traces the beginning of medicalisationof childbirth, the professionalisation of obstetrics, the agency of maledoctors, inclusion of midwifery as an academic subject in medical collegesand consequences of maternal care and infant welfare.
This book will greatly interest scholars and researchers in history, social medicine, public policy, gender studies and South Asian studies.

Описание: What role do pre-modern religious traditions play in the formation of modern secular identities? In Unforgetting Chaitanya, Varuni Bhatia examines late-nineteenth-century transformations of Bengali Vaishnavism-a vibrant and multifaceted religious tradition that traces its origins to the fifteenth century Krishna devotee Chaitanya (1486-1533). Drawing on an extensive body of hitherto unexamined archival material, Bhatia finds that both religious modernizers and secular voices among the Bengali middle-class invoked Chaitanya, portraying him simultaneously as a local hero, a Hindu reformer, and as God almighty. She argues that these claims should be understood in relation to the recovery of a "pure" Bengali culture and history in a period of nascent, but rising, anti-colonialism in the region. Who is a true Vaishnava? In the late nineteenth century, this question assumed urgency as debates around questions of authenticity appeared prominently in the Bengali public sphere. These debates went on for years, even decades, causing unbridgeable rifts in personal friendships and tarnishing reputations of established scholars. Underlying these debates was the question of authoritative Bengali Vaishnavism and its role in the long-term constitution of Bengali culture and society. At stake, argues Bhatia, was the very nature and composition of an indigenously-derived modernity inscribed through the politics of authenticity, which allowed an influential section of Hindu, upper-caste Bengalis to excavate their own explicitly Hindu pasts in order to find a people's history, a religious reformer, a casteless Hindu sect, the richest examples of Bengali literature, and a sophisticated expression of monotheistic religion.
