Disciplinary Cross-currents
Of Caste and Indian Politics
Stemming essentially from D. L. Sheth and the work embodied in his 1999 essay ‘Secularisation of Caste and Making of New Middle Class’, the article attempts to outline the pathways for an alternative engagement with caste and politics. In perspective is what is termed the ‘triumphalist’ mode of encountering caste identities; and, along this course, the extant possibilities of the constructivist understanding of caste are addressed. The stakes of …
Secular moral/legal commitments revisited
The effort here is to problematize the conceptual and analytical resources developed in the study of both ‘secularity’ as a normative object and the associated question of the interface of religion and law in the context of modern secularism. Working off a division and/or antinomy central to the essays that comprise this special number, I attempt to complicate the terrain of debate by setting in course a complex series of questions about the very…
Back to the Rough Ground of Rights
This article is directed at historicising the language and practice of ‘civil liberties’ in India, and it does so by addressing the specific contingencies that have marked its early twentieth-century trajectory that continue to resonate in our historical present. Of course, the immediate point of departure for the article is a methodological fixation with what has been termed as a ‘political approach’ to rights, whose limits set the terms for a m…
Remise en cause de l’internalisme relatif au droit et à l’obligation légale.Les orientations indiennes classiques
Nous nous efforcerons de produire une lecture réflexive du droit et de l’obligation légale selon les orientations classiques « indiennes » sur cette question, prenant comme point de départ les réflexions sous-jacentes à l’ouvrage précurseur de l’universitaire français Robert Lingat qui avait cherché à décrire une condition antérieure du droit en Inde. Celle-ci, bien que ne devant nullement son existence à des actes législatifs ou à des décisions …
Invoking sociology at University of Lucknow (1921-75)
How to think about ‘sociology’ at the University of Lucknow is certainly a problem, accentuated not just by the fact that the trajectory indicated by Sociology at the University of Lucknow: The First Half Century (1921– 1975) (SUL, hereafter) has an extended time frame (or chronology)— 1921–75, to be precise—but also marking a practice whose specificities cannot be rendered exclusively ‘Indian’ and/or ‘colonial’. To be sure, as Professor T.N. Mad…
Antinomies of Pluralism
Conceptions of pluralism and identity exert a powerful influence both on the process of politics and on the study of politics. They inform a wide range of ideals and methods and, more importantly, shape influential definitions of politics and political subjectivity and agency across national spaces. The article is an attempt to formulate an approach to pluralism that allows us to enrich accounts of political subjectivity and agency at the same ti…
Beyond Reflexivity? On the Enactments of Sociology in India
Sociology as Regime
Pressing at once upon questions of disciplinary specificity and substantive rearticulation, this paper examines the standards of reflexivity being brought to bear on an assessment of the practice of sociology (especially in India, but also elsewhere). The track pursued is primarily conceptual and methodological, and the same is further grafted onto a theme of a reflexive sociology of modernity. This recounting of the spaces and grounds of discipl…
