Explore the dynamic political landscape of 20th-century India through its distinct political imaginaries. This insightful volume, written by Mrinalini Sinha of the University of Michigan, delves into the concepts, conjunctures, and currency that shaped India's political discourse. Moving beyond a nation-centric view, it examines the complex contexts in which various political ideas emerged, spanning the crucial period between independence and partition. "Political Imaginaries in Twentieth-Century India" is the first comprehensive study to grasp the shifting modes and meanings of 'the political' in India. It uncovers diverse forms of political engagement, including mass protests, radical women's politics, civil rights movements, and debates on national wealth and mobilization against indentured labor. By connecting 'the political' to evolving historical temporalities, this book offers a fresh perspective for understanding late colonial and post-colonial formations in the 20th century, contributing significantly to the 'political turn' in scholarship.
