Archaeological intimacy and heritage publics
Sites of Buddhist heritage in contemporary North India reflect diverse motivations and complex interests among various stakeholders and publics. This article highlights the modern construction of Sarnath as the site of Buddha’s first sermon, demonstrating how Buddhist heritage is shaped by state authorities and experienced by Indian visitors. Using the term ‘archaeological intimacy,’ we examine how remnants of Buddhist material culture shape the …

The Demand to Repeal the Bodh Gaya Temple Act, 1949
The ongoing hunger strike in Bodh Gaya, initiated on February 12 by Indian Buddhist monks and supporters under the Mahabodhi Mahavihara Mukti Andolan, demands temple management reforms, calling for an end to state interference and the full transfer of control to the Indian Buddhist community. Protesters argue that the Temple Management Act of 1949 upholds Brahmanical dominance over the sacred site, perpetuating historical injustice. While the dem…
Formal Functions of Drum Patterns in Post-Millennial Pop Songs, 2012–2021
Drum patterns are fundamental to popular music’s soundscape. But the majority of music-theoretical scholarship about drum patterns focuses on their rhythmic and metric features, and there is no widely adopted method for analyzing how drum patterns help express form across complete songs. Grounded in a corpus study from the Billboard Year-End Pop Airplay Songs charts from 2012–2021, this article introduces an analytical method that succinctly depi…
Nalanda Rising
While the memory of the ancient Nalanda University has often been invoked in recent years as a symbol of educational excellence and pan-Asian unity, particularly with reference to the creation of a new international university in Bihar, India, these discourses often overlook and erase the significance of Nava Nalanda Mahviahra that was created in India's postindependence period as an institute devoted to the study of Buddhist texts and languages …
Buddhist homeland(s), memory and the politics of belonging in South Asia
In recent centuries, the concept of an ‘original’ Buddhist homeland located in India and Nepal has come to mark the aspirations, identities, histories, and memories of diverse Buddhist communities and nation-states. In this Introduction to the Special Issue, we examine some of the ways Buddhist homeland narratives are used to (re)build ties to physical and imagined landscapes of belonging and how these discourses intersect with certain claims to …
Analyzing the Beat in Metrically Consonant Popular Songs
The beat is regularly defined as a song's primary pulse layer and as a requirement for metric formation. Despite the beat's familiarity, however, its precise characterization and analytical application is inconsistent in scholarship. In this article, I present a new approach to analyze the beat in popular songs with a consonant, clear, and unchanging quadruple simple meter. At bottom, I take the traditional view of the beat as a singular entity a…
Rebuilding the Navel of the Earth
Central to the modern rebirth of Bodh Gaya as the place of Buddha's enlightenment is the growing influence of Buddhist missionaries and transnational religious networks on this pilgrimage landscape in North India. Although this process began in the late nineteenth century, it was not until after India's independence that Buddhism became an integral part of the nation-building project and a key site of post-colonial diplomacy with neighbouring Asi…
Incredible India in a global age
In 2002, the Incredible India campaign was launched on the world stage by the Government of India, Ministry of Tourism and Culture. This multimedia campaign that positions India as a premium tourist destination has since gone on to receive wide accolades in the global tourism industry through its creative and visceral images encapsulated by the iconic brand logo. In this article, I explore the formulation of the Incredible India campaign and anal…
The decline of the Bodh Gaya Math and the afterlife of zamindari
The decline of the Bodh Gaya Math is arguably the most significant event in Bodh Gaya's recent history and is often overlooked by contemporary scholars who celebrate the global Buddhist resurgence at the site. A Shaivaite monastic institution with an extensive landed estate in the south Bihar region, the Bodh Gaya Math, rose to prominence during the Mughal and British colonial periods. Through its privileged land holdings and claim to be the prin…

Through an engaging and critical overview of the place of Buddha's enlightenment, the book discusses the dynamic…
