Who or what do we care about in the 21st century
The article explores the importance of Richard Titmuss’s 1970 book, The Gift Relationship. It analyses the substance of the gift relationship, and its steady erosion through the embrace of neoliberalism globally, by seeing how the ‘gift of life’ has become a ‘theft of life’ through the work of Nancy Scheper-Hughes. It sets out the importance of redistribution and recognition to the study of sociology, outlines the lacuna in Honneth and Fraser, an…

The Political Ecology of Nostalgia
In seeking to counter the grand narrative of capitalist progress with an alternative narrative of its own, ecological theory resounds with the clash of disputed histories. Visions of a better, more sustainable ecological future are tied to a variety of interpretations of the past. History is deployed to establish what is possible for humanity, or appealed to as a proof that a way of life which once existed before can — if we so will it — be reali…
The public face of Hindu nationalism
This article maps some of the salient ways in which the tenets of Hindu nationalism are being disseminated and made acceptable within British politics and within the core of social living among various communities in Britain. It examines specific institutional sites through which a politicized Hindutva community is forged: the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (UK), the vernacular press, and the Swaminarayan temple in north London. It argues that the "famili…
Hindutva in the West: Mapping the Antinomies of Diaspora Nationalism
This introduction provides a historical background to Hindu nationalism and examines several theoretical and empirical themes that are important for its analysis both in India and the diaspora. It is argued that there has been a relative neglect within the research field of diaspora nationalist movements and the impact they can have on constituting antisecular and absolutist orientations to minorities and majorities both within the diaspora and i…
The 'Civilizing Mission: The Regulation and Control of Mourning in Colonial India
The control of women's public form of mourning in India was undertaken in the colonial era by male social reformers. The article argues that this was both a part of the process which enabled the consolidation of colonial rule - since laments were repositories for the social memory of the dead which could lead to vendettas - and that this fed into the construction of a specific domestic ideology. The latter was predicated on the privatization and …

Upholding the Common Life: The Community of Mirabai
Drawing on extensive oral recordings of devotional songs, the book contextualises the figure of the sixteenth century Rajput princess Mirabai, who became a devotee of Krishna, within the lived reality of the lives of poorer women and men in Rajasthan and Gujarat. It analyses in detail the communities which have formed around the figure of Mirabai
