In recent decades the South Asian subcontinent has seen an often contentious nationalistic and regionalistic splintering which sometimes leads to horrifyingly bloody consequences. In India the process of transforming conceptual and cultural regions into administrative and political units continues to this day with ever more refined regional identities becoming the basis for carving up larger states into smaller ones. For centuries there have also been many regions in India that provide a framework for people's cultural lives without attaining political salience. This book presents a multidisciplinary study of the processes through which regions and regional consciousness get formed and maintained in India. The fourteen essays brought together here examine various modes through which people in different parts of India express create and foster a sense of their area as a distinct coherent and significant unit to which they belong in some important way. The modes examined include language oral and written literature festivals pilgrimages everyday rituals domestic wall calendars caste identity religious identity and political movements. The contributors to the volume belong to a wide variety of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences linguistics literature folklore history religious studies sociology and science. The regions they discuss range in location from Kerala to Punjab and in size from a few square kilometers of the Sringeri area to the whole Hindi speaking region of North India with two essays focusing on a single city each. 380 pp.…
