After its annexation in 1849 the Punjab became the most important strategic and agricultural province of British India. Within a few decades much changed in the region including the intellectual horizons of the Punjabi elite. This monograph tells the comparative socio intellectual history of the Singh Sabha (Sikh) Arya Samaj (Hindu) and Ahmadiyah (Muslim) voluntary reform movements. As a new contribution to the field the term moral languages is introduced to discuss the reformers redefined traditions that emerged in response to Western reason and Christianity. Underwriting the Singh Sabha Arya Samaj and Ahmadiyah moral languages was the fundamental process of strengthening doctrine conduct and ritual through a dialogic process in which readings of the traditional literature (often as interpreted by European Orientalist scholars) were combined with an understanding that frequently invoked the authority of science. In particular this volume argues that the secular religious binary opposition which has been so dominantly in existence since the European enlightenment hides more than it shows. Significant to the social consciousness of the Punjabi reformers was the partial overlap with the British civilizing mission's underlying notion of improvement. The term moral languages emphasizes that since the nineteenth century religion is nothing more than morality motivated and spread through modern institutions and practices. Hence the Singh Sabha Arya Samaj and Ahmadiyah moral languages are discussed in terms of modern traditions based on rational knowledge and practices that became vital to the struggle for authority and status in the context of an emergent liberal public sphere and processes of state formation. This timely book will be of great interest to scholars of British Punjab South Asian colonial history and comparative religion. 268 pp.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. Through the concept of 'Romantic nationalism', this interdisciplinary global historical study investigates cultural initiatives in modern India that aimed at establishing the nation as a moral community and which preceded or accompanied state-oriented political nationalism. Drawing on a vast array of sources, it discusses important Romantic nationalist traits such as the relationship between language and identity, historicism, artistic revival­ism, and hero worship. Ultimately, this innovative book argues that because of the confrontation with European civilization and processes of modern­ization at large, cultivation of culture in modern India was morally and spiritually more important to the making of the nation than in Europe.

Paperback. Condition: New. Cultivating Sikh Culture and Identity explores the development of modern Sikh identities through the concept of 'cultivation of culture'. It investigates diverse, but repeatedly overlapping, Sikh encounters in the fields of art, music and philology, and considers their role in the making of a continuous living tradition.The volume focuses particularly on the imperial encounter and intellectual interaction between coloniser and colonised. It emphasises the enduring importance of the modern rational approach of the Singh Sabha (Tat Khalsa) reformers in defining a normative Sikh tradition. In so doing, the author reflects on the importance of philological research and the complexity of modern knowledge production in relation to the formation of cultural identities. The chapters offer a critical historical overview of the changes in the performance and reception of Sikh devotional music in the context of the community's successive encounters with the Mughals, the British and globalisation. They also provide new insights into the life and work of Max Arthur Macauliffe, author of the classic The Sikh Religion (1909), and a contextualised discussion of contemporary Sikh drawings by Emily de Klerk.Taking a global, interdisciplinary approach, this book will be of particular interest to scholars of religion, South Asian Studies and history.…

Condition: New. 2013. Hardcover. Music has been neglected by imperial historians, but this book shows that music is an essential aspect of identity formation and cross-cultural exchange. It explores the ways in which rational, moral, and aesthetic motives underlying the institutionalization of "classical" music converged and diverged in Britain and India from 1880-1940.
