Men in the Home
Feminist Studies 46, no. 2. © 2020 by Feminist Studies, Inc. 403 Gyanendra Pandey Men in the Home: Everyday Practices of Gender in Twentieth-Century India This article responds to a call by feminist historians of South Asia to attend to the “complex experience of family” as conditioned by age, gender, and class, and the ordinary “daily practices of gender” in the domestic arena.1 My essay focuses on the comparatively neglected aspect of men’s dom…
The Drive for a Monolingual Order
This paper explores the changing contours of politics and democracy in our times by examining the ways in which populations and privileges are increasingly being distributed in cities and countries across the globe. In the light of these changing demographic and social conditions, it asks what are the appropriate terms for analysis of such population groups and their political aspirations, and suggests that we are working with outmoded analytical…
Racialization of Subaltern Populations across the Globe
The politics of difference - also named race or racism in various critical discourses - is the focus of this essay. The charge of being deviant, uncultured, “illegal” and out of place is leveled in a variety of ways, by those who claim the status of natural belonging, against subordinated and marginalized groups - from immigrants recently arrived in a place, to ancient inhabitants driven away from their lands and property and opportunities. The i…
Subalternity and Difference
A History of Prejudice
This is a book about prejudice and democracy, and the prejudice of democracy. In comparing the historical struggles of two geographically disparate populations - Indian Dalits (once known as Untouchables) and African Americans - Gyanendra Pandey, the leading subaltern historian, examines the multiple dimensions of prejudice in two of the world's leading democracies. The juxtaposition of two very different locations and histories, and within each …

Can There Be a Subaltern Middle Class? Notes on African American and Dalit History
Focusing on specific assemblages that have historically been seen as communities of lower-class and underclass individuals and families, this essay examines the history of members of these “communities” who come to inhabit not the positions of the down-and-out, where they allegedly belong, but those of the more comfortable, educated, professional middle classes. It asks what the history of the struggles of these subaltern middle classes tells us …

The Construction of Communalism in Colonial North India
This book charts the history of the term communalism and the politics and attitudes it seeks to encapsulate. While attending closely to the social, economic, and political issues underlying Hindu and Muslim struggles, it investigates and meanings different participants in the sectarian politics of the period attached to these politics. It is a part of a larger exercise aimed at understanding the construction of Indian society and politics in rece…

Remembering Partition
The Long Life of Rumor
Genocidal violence leaves but broken historical trace. Not surprisingly, therefore, surviving records of subcontinent's (1) Partition are marked by their fragmentariness. They move, in fits and starts, through jerks and breaks and silences--incoherent, stuttering, even incomprehensible--between poles of testimony and rumor. Testimony, Langer notes, is a form of remembering. Rumor, by contrast, is form of doing--of making happen--by telling. (2) r…
Remembering Partition
Through an investigation of the violence that marked the partition of British India in 1947, this book analyses questions of history and memory, the nationalisation of populations and their pasts, and the ways in which violent events are remembered (or forgotten) in order to ensure the unity of the collective subject - community or nation. Stressing the continuous entanglement of 'event' and 'interpretation', the author emphasises both the enormi…
Can a Muslim Be an Indian
I want to begin this paper with two simple points. One is that nations are established by constructing a core or mainstream-the essential, natural, soul of the nation, as it is claimed. The other is that minorities are constituted along with the nation-for they are the means of constituting national majorities or mainstreams. Nations, and nationalisms, are established by defining boundaries. However, these are not always-or perhaps, ever-sharply …
Subaltern Studies VII
Voices from the edge
The debate on critical history has taken on a new dimension in recent years, challenging the very status of history' as a privileged, objective discourse. Historians, and practitioners of other disciplines, have used the 'voice from the edge', and the 'fragmentary statement' to disturb the totalizing and normalizing character of historical writing. Other historians have condemned this disturbing of the 'centre', of the inherited form of historica…
