Creolising Indianité and Cosmopolitanism in Ernest Moutoussamy’s Il ne fait jamais nuit
In his historical novel Il ne fait jamais nuit (2013), Guadeloupean Ernest Moutoussamy, a writer and political figure of Indian descent, traces the unsung life of Caroupin Ramsamy, an Indian who migrated to Guadeloupe during the period of indentureship, who is portrayed as a staunch defender of universal humanism. While the novel often conjures a Hindu India within the archipelago’s multicultural fabric, it also depicts Guadeloupe as a cradle whe…
Embodied performances of (post-)indenture
42,473 Indian indentured workers were transported to the French Caribbean archipelago of Guadeloupe between 1854 and 1889.

The novels depart from the commonly teleological understanding of “rebirth.” They revisit and reassess the achievement…
The Dissenting Voices of Dalit Women Writers
From the late 19th century onwards, the Indian nationalist movement offered a seemingly inclusive, yet Hindu-dominated image of the nation and so did Indian national historiography for four decades after independence. This vision was challenged in subaltern studies, in the Partition literature of the early 1980s, and in the feminist historiography of the 1990s. Dalit literatures, which timidly appeared internationally then, perfectly illustrate J…
