Re-Thinking the ‘Social’ in British Colonial and South Asian History
This historiographical review engages with recent works in British colonial and South Asian history that shed light on the emergence of the concept of ‘society’ or the ‘social’ in South Asia. The review explores three main areas for the study of the social concept including: scholarship on liberalism and colonial law; histories of colonial sociology and knowledge production; and materialist histories of political economy and concept formation. Th…
Chronologics: Periodisation in a Global Context
This is an ambitious, stimulating, and well-conceived set of essays that explores the issue of historical periodization in a global context. Edited by Barbara Mittler, Thomas Maissen, and Pierre Monnet, the volume emerged out of a 2017 conference on the same theme.

Narrating Economic History and the History of Economic Thought in Urdu
Muḥammad Ilyās Barnī’s (1890–1959) ʿIlm ul-Maʿīshat (The Principles of Economics) is an economics textbook that was published in Aligarh in 1917 and claimed to be the first book of economics in Urdu.

The accomp…

The article argues that these changes were a result of changing conditions of knowledge production, specifically the expansion of print, …
Sparc: Community advocacy through a student‐led conference
Naoroji: Pioneer of Indian Nationalism, by Dinyar Patel
Biography is a curiously under-used genre in Indian academic history (in marked contrast to Indian popular history and cinema, where biography and biopics continue to thrive). Whether this absence is because of a dearth of sources, a theoretical scepticism of methods that assume a fundamental unity and narrative coherence of individual lives, or because Indian historians, as Dinyar Patel mordantly puts it, ‘are very prone to the vagaries of acade…
