The Maratha Period of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when an independent Maratha state successfully resisted the Mughals is a defining era in Indian history. Prachi Deshpande examines the invocation of this period in various political projects including anticolonial Hindu nationalism and the Non Brahman Movement as well as popular debates throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries over the meanings of traditions culture colonialism and modernity. Deploying a rich body of literary and cultural sources Deshpande highlights shifts in history writing in early modern Western India as well as the deep connections between historical and literary narratives. She also shows how historical memory provided a space for Indians to negotiate among their natural religious and regional identities pointing out history's pervasive potential for shaping politics within thoroughly diverse societies. A study of quite extraordinary penetration and breadth Creative Pasts mines Maratha history and Marathi sources as never before to analyse historiography popular memory and the socio literary impact of colonialism on regional societies and cultures.

Soft cover. Condition: New. This book is a cultural history of western India from a fascinatingly new perspective: language use, writing practices, and relations of power. Its principal focus is the Modi script, a cursive form widely used for writing the Marathi language from the medieval era until quite recently. Examining the changing domains in which Modi flourished and declined over several centuries, Deshpande charts the interconnections of writing, script, language use, and structures of social and regional power in early-modern and modern South Asia. Positioning the career of this cursive form within a cluster of scripts, documents, and language practices, Scripts of Power tracks changing meanings within literate groups, bureaucratic power, and linguistic identity. It presents a critical genealogy of diverse power relations that produced the regional vernaculars of the Indian subcontinent many of which, including Marathi, are official state languages in India today. Deshpande s cultural history reveals multiple fractures in language at its sites of usage over time. It unsettles the notions of language as merely instrumental for communication, or as a primordial basis for identity, and makes us see language as history and practice. In deploying script as its entry point for large reflections on the relationship of politics with language, identity, and power, this book will fascinate and absorb all who are interested in Indian cultural history.…
