Description
The volume presents a set of keywords and concepts anchored in the region's languages and its vast cultural landscape. It reiterates specific attitudes, ways of seeing, and methods of doing, embedded in the historical and contemporary experiences in South Asia.
The words, concepts, ideas, and attitudes in this volume explore the contexts of their production and how their meanings have changed at different historical moments.
Individual essays, from across disciplines, argue for the importance of moving away from the intellectual shackles of colonial and neo-colonial experiences while also not succumbing to the traps of local reductionist nativisms and cultural nationalisms.
