The colonial carnivalesque in Mulk Raj Anand's Untouchable and Amitav Ghosh's Sea of Poppies
Drawing on the work of Mikhail Bakhtin, this article argues that the novels Untouchable by Mulk Raj Anand and Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh represent the destabilization of traditional, pre-colonial hierarchies, especially those of caste, by employing the mode of the colonial carnivalesque.

It contextualizes Rushdie’s representations of th…
Salman Rushdie and Indian Historiography: Writing the Nation into Being
A Biography of the Nation
As the previous survey of Indian historiography demonstrates, India's status as a nation has been controversial. Imperialist discourse at first denied it and then later claimed that nation building had always been the aim of British colonisation.1 Nationalist historiography argues that Indian nationalism and Indian nationalist discourse shaped the idea of India as a nation in opposition to colonialism.2 In the 1970s, when Rushdie was writing Midn…
