Conceptualising The Hindudom And The Threatening ‘Other`: Savitri Devi Mukherjee As A Hindu Nationalist In Late Colonial Bengal
See
Savitri Devi Mukherjee’s ‘A Warning to the Hindus` (1939) was published as a part of her
Hindu nationalist project in India under the patronage of the Hindu Mission at Calcutta.
This less highlighted and unexplored work could be used to understand an obscure variety
of Hindu nationalism which proposed to create one Hindudom on the basis of an Aryan-
Hindu connection in the past. The entire argument was placed on an enigma of ‘danger` and
‘threat` from the ‘other` religions and opened up ...
Tagore and Decolonization
See
This paper revisits Tagore during the turbulent period of India’s struggle for freedom since
the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and how he demonstrated discursive strategies of
decolonization while living under an offshore dominion. It is a brief attempt to underline the
interface between Tagore’s obvious emergence as a prolific writer and his active participation
in the nationalist politics of India since the late 1880s. By reinterpreting Tagore’s overtly
political writings, public...

many ideological movements as Nazism, and Fascism and which was not confronting the
spread of communism. The problems...

See
After the three Anglo-Burmese Wars (1824-1885) the British annexation of Burma was
completed. Simultaneously there began the process of modernization of Burma which required
huge number of labours and agriculturists. The Indians were taken as labourers for the
works of construction, clearing jungles and as port labourers. With the expansion of trade
and government offices the Indian migrated as traders and white collared job holders. There

Urban Transformation in a Period of Transition from Colonialism to Post-Colonial Rule: A Case Study of Calcutta (1942-66)
See
This paper tries to explore transformation of Calcutta’s urban space in a period of transition,
i.e. from end phase of colonial rule to early years of decolonization. The main object of this
paper is to understand the role of broader politico-economic events like world war, famine,
communal riots and migration in determining urban planning and development. At the same
time, we would review how concerns of health and hygiene affected planning and
developmental works in an urban area. Simu...
