A Note from the Editors
As the Editors of Modern Asian Studies , we are sorry that Professor Sundar is disappointed that Professor Verghese's article, ‘British Rule and Tribal Revolts in India’, does not engage with her work in the manner she would have wished. We are in agreement with the reviewers of the article that Verghese sets out a problematic for his study that is posed in a significantly different fashion from Sundar's work. As Verghese explains below, his line…
Knowledge Formation in Colonial India
Disciplining the Body, Disciplining the Body-Politic
In the early evening of 14 September 1989, ferocious Hindu-Muslim rioting broke out in the city of Kota in the north Indian state of Rajasthan. The rioting started during the Hindu festival of Anant Chaturdashi, while celebrants were taking out religious processions through the city. Although most of the violence occurred during that first night, it would be another three days before the Indian army could restore an uneasy peace to the city and n…

Tod's Rajast'han and the Boundaries of Imperial Rule in Nineteenth-Century India
This essay concerns the labile boundary between the familiar and the exotic in an early nineteenth-century Orientalist text, entitledAnnals and Antiquities of Rajast'han, by James Tod.

Kotā Mahājagat, or the Great Universe of Kota
In Whose Turban Does the Lord Reside
The shiny, black stone statue of Shri Nathji that today resides in the busy pilgrimage town of Nathdvara (Rajasthan, India) is the preeminent image of the Vaisnava sect of the Vallabha Sampradaya. Like all statues in the sect, the image is an anthropomorphic manifestation of Krishna, the sect's paramount deity (see Plate 1). More than simply representing Krishna, Vallabhite statues are believed to contain this deity's 'immanent presence' and to p…
