Terror myths and scenes of violence
This essay brings attention to the representation of terror, to highlight the visual engagement with terror discourses. By looking at a spectrum of images that evoke revolutionary politics, the Gulf War, 9/11 and 26/11 (the Mumbai attack), and an Anti-Terrorist Squad interrogation, this essay focuses on a colonial chromolithograph, submissions to an amateur cartoon contest, sand sculptures, and an illustration of torture testimony in India. These…

In his cartoons the figures of the politician and the ordinary citizen, as well as the trope of air travel, picture a nation where the anomalies of a developmental agenda are evident every day. Despite this gloomy image, newspape…
Vernacular Punches
Why has the story of the vernacular cartoon‐based newspapers in colonial India, which were versions of the British Punch, remained obscure? Specifically, what does the story of the Urdu Punch and Hindi Punch among other vernacular Punches tell us about colonial politics? Approaching memory and history as forms of knowledge, this article draws upon archival research to construct an alternate history of Punch and the vernacular Punches in colonial …
