Description

Explore a groundbreaking historical study with Colonialism and Knowledge in Grierson's Linguistic Survey of India. Published by Routledge, this book provides the first detailed examination of George Abraham Grierson's massive work, which remains one of the most complete sources on South Asian languages. This academic text examines how the Survey functioned as a collaborative effort. It challenges traditional views by looking at the composite mode of producing knowledge used during the British India period. The research shows that the lines between European orientalists and colonized Indians were often blurred during this process. Readers will gain insight into how the Survey established its authority. Rather than claiming absolute certainty, the work relied on its recognition of the provisional nature of its findings. By acknowledging the approximate nature of its results and its own shortcomings, the Survey created a unique way of documenting linguistic history. This book is an essential resource for those studying South Asian history, linguistics, and the complex dynamics of colonial knowledge production.
