Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of Kali Prossunno Singh AN apology is scarcely needed for this presentation in an English dress of the mono graph on Kali Prossunno Singh which I wrote in Bengali and published about five years ago. The name of the illustrious translator of the Mahabharat and author of Hatam Panchar Nahshu deserves to be more widely known than it is outside the country of his birth, and as English is now the prevailing language among the cultured classes all over India and the greater portion of the world besides, an English edition of his biography seems to be the best means of giving a greater publicity to his name and fame. The time, too, is opportune for, the semi centenary of his death takes place to-day and, by way of refreshing the memory of his noble exertions for the moral and intellectual advance ment of his countrymen, a recapitulation of his career cannot be unacceptable to the public at the present juncture. Some fresh materials have been collected by me since I published the Bengali edition, and I have incorporated them in their preper places in the present volume, which, I trust, will be received by the public with as much favor as the original work in Bengali.

Everyday Nationalism
Author: Kalyani Devaki Menon
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812202791
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Hindu nationalism has been responsible for acts of extreme violence against religious minorities and is a dominant force on the sociopolitical landscape of contemporary India. How does such a violent and exclusionary movement recruit supporters? How do members navigate the tensions between the normative prescriptions of such movements and competing ideologies? To understand the expansionary power of Hindu nationalism, Kalyani Menon argues, it is critical to examine the everyday constructions of politics and ideology through which activists garner support at the grassroots level. Based on fieldwork with women in several Hindu nationalist organizations, Menon explores how these activists use gendered constructions of religion, history, national insecurity, and social responsibility to recruit individuals from a variety of backgrounds. As Hindu nationalism extends its reach to appeal to increasingly diverse groups, she explains, it is forced to acknowledge a multiplicity of positions within the movement. She argues that Hindu nationalism's willingness to accommodate dissonance is central to understanding the popularity of the movement. Everyday Nationalism contends that the Hindu nationalist movement's power to attract and maintain constituencies with incongruous beliefs and practices is key to its growth. The book reveals that the movement's success is facilitated by its ability to become meaningful in people's daily lives, resonating with their constructions of the past, appealing to their fears in the present, presenting itself as the protector of the country's citizens, and inventing traditions through the use of Hindu texts, symbols, and rituals to unite people in a sense of belonging to a nation.
