Description

Explore the complex dynamics of identity and modernity in South Asia with this academic work from Routledge. This book examines the political economy of a north Indian province, focusing specifically on how low-caste Chamars engage in self-fashioning. By looking at how these individuals navigate the pursuit of the modern, the text provides a fresh perspective on subaltern classes. Unlike traditional studies that rely on Western models as the primary comparison, this book argues that subaltern groups develop their own ideas about modernity. They do this by adopting and rejecting models from other classes within their own national context. This approach offers a unique framework for analyzing subaltern modernities by displacing the West as the central comparative focus. It is an essential read for students and scholars interested in anthropology, sociology, and the political landscape of South Asia.
