Description

This scholarly historical study examines how language debates shaped modern Gujarat, India, from approximately 1850 to 1960. The work explores the intricate relationship between linguistic choices and power dynamics among Gujarat's social elite during a period of profound transformation in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By analysing these language controversies, the book reveals how different communities-differentiated by nation, ethnicity, region, religion, caste, class, and gender-negotiated their identities and social positions. The text demonstrates that language disputes were never merely academic; they functioned as a lens through which individuals and groups asserted their place in society and influenced political and cultural change. Part of Routledge's New Horizons in South Asian Studies series, this volume contributes substantially to our understanding of how linguistic identity became entangled with power relations in colonial and post-colonial India.
