Archaeological intimacy and heritage publics
Sites of Buddhist heritage in contemporary North India reflect diverse motivations and complex interests among various stakeholders and publics. This article highlights the modern construction of Sarnath as the site of Buddha’s first sermon, demonstrating how Buddhist heritage is shaped by state authorities and experienced by Indian visitors. Using the term ‘archaeological intimacy,’ we examine how remnants of Buddhist material culture shape the …

The Demand to Repeal the Bodh Gaya Temple Act, 1949
The ongoing hunger strike in Bodh Gaya, initiated on February 12 by Indian Buddhist monks and supporters under the Mahabodhi Mahavihara Mukti Andolan, demands temple management reforms, calling for an end to state interference and the full transfer of control to the Indian Buddhist community. Protesters argue that the Temple Management Act of 1949 upholds Brahmanical dominance over the sacred site, perpetuating historical injustice. While the dem…
We Are Descendants of the Buddha”
Although the spread of Buddhism and the transmission of dhamma beyond its place of origins have been taking place for many centuries, these instantiations abroad are once again taking root in the homeland through a form of return globalization. Focusing on the Youth Buddhist Society of India, we examine the creative and pragmatic ways in which Indian youth are reclaiming the Shakya identity and ancestry associated with the historical Buddha for t…
Nalanda Rising
While the memory of the ancient Nalanda University has often been invoked in recent years as a symbol of educational excellence and pan-Asian unity, particularly with reference to the creation of a new international university in Bihar, India, these discourses often overlook and erase the significance of Nava Nalanda Mahviahra that was created in India's postindependence period as an institute devoted to the study of Buddhist texts and languages …
Buddhist homeland(s), memory and the politics of belonging in South Asia
In recent centuries, the concept of an ‘original’ Buddhist homeland located in India and Nepal has come to mark the aspirations, identities, histories, and memories of diverse Buddhist communities and nation-states. In this Introduction to the Special Issue, we examine some of the ways Buddhist homeland narratives are used to (re)build ties to physical and imagined landscapes of belonging and how these discourses intersect with certain claims to …
Buddhist Pilgrimage and the Ritual Ecology of Sacred Sites in the Indo-Gangetic Region
In contemporary India and Nepal, Buddhist pilgrimage spaces constitute a ritual ecology. Not only is pilgrimage a form of ritual practice that is central to placemaking and the construction of a Buddhist sacred geography, but the actions of religious adherents at sacred centers also involve a rich and diverse set of ritual observances and performances. Drawing on ethnographic research, this paper examines how the material and corporeal aspects of…

Rebuilding the Navel of the Earth
Central to the modern rebirth of Bodh Gaya as the place of Buddha's enlightenment is the growing influence of Buddhist missionaries and transnational religious networks on this pilgrimage landscape in North India. Although this process began in the late nineteenth century, it was not until after India's independence that Buddhism became an integral part of the nation-building project and a key site of post-colonial diplomacy with neighbouring Asi…
Incredible India in a global age
In 2002, the Incredible India campaign was launched on the world stage by the Government of India, Ministry of Tourism and Culture. This multimedia campaign that positions India as a premium tourist destination has since gone on to receive wide accolades in the global tourism industry through its creative and visceral images encapsulated by the iconic brand logo. In this article, I explore the formulation of the Incredible India campaign and anal…
The decline of the Bodh Gaya Math and the afterlife of zamindari
The decline of the Bodh Gaya Math is arguably the most significant event in Bodh Gaya's recent history and is often overlooked by contemporary scholars who celebrate the global Buddhist resurgence at the site. A Shaivaite monastic institution with an extensive landed estate in the south Bihar region, the Bodh Gaya Math, rose to prominence during the Mughal and British colonial periods. Through its privileged land holdings and claim to be the prin…

A Nation of Outsiders
Wide ranging and engagingly written, A Nation of Outsiders is one of the most provocative works in post–World War II U.S. history published in recent years. Grace Elizabeth Hale traces “the romance of the outsider,” defined as “the belief that people somehow marginal to society possess cultural resources and values missing among other Americans” (p. 1). She claims that outsider romance played a central role in such historical developments as the …
Atlantic Revolution” or Local Difficulty
It has become commonplace to argue that the ideals of the Enlightenment, the American War of Independence and the French Revolution inspired revolutionary struggles on both sides of the Atlantic and even played an increasing role in the inspiration of slave revolts in the Americas. This paper tests this hypothesis against two kinds of upheaval, namely slave revolt in Brazil between 1780 and 1850 and artisan protest in the so‐called Praiera Rising…
Destination enlightenment
In 2002 the Mahabodhi Temple Complex in Bodhgaya was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. As the alleged site of Buddha's enlightenment it is one of the most revered and sanctified places for Buddhists around the world. This international designation has also set in motion a series of development proposals and heritage policies that seek to rehabilitate and recreate this centre of world Buddhism that provides glimpses of the land of enlightenme…
The Second International
Introduction In 1889 the Second International Working Men’s Association was formed at a congress in Paris of trade unionists and socialists from several countries. In the following decades this organisation became the forum of major debates between different kinds of socialists. The Second International was not simply a talking shop for intellectuals, however; its membership embraced mass organisations, such as the Austrian, German and Russian So…
The Bonds of Labour
Nazis and Workers before 1933
This paper examines the mass of recent research, which suggests that the Nazis were much more successful in winning “working‐class” votes than had been previously imagined. Though the research has undeniably shown a great deal of such support, some of the claims made on its basis (e.g. about the cross‐sectional and relatively random distribution of Nazi support amongst workers) are not sustainable. In fact working‐class Nazis were much more likel…
Beer and Skittles? Workers and Culture in Early Twentieth‐Century Germany
This paper begins by examining the cultural practices of the large workers' leisure organisations associated with German Social Democracy and asks whether these merely reproduced ‘high’ or ‘bourgeois’ culture or whether they contributed to a distinct cultural identity for their members. It concludes that, although much of the culture of these organisations was borrowed, it was not necessarily understood in the same way by workers as by middle‐cla…
Labour History, the ‘Linguistic Turn’ and Postmodernism
This article begins by examining recent work on labour history by some French and British historians, who have been influenced by postmodernism and the ‘linguistic turn’ but often find themselves locked into what are primarily ‘cultural’ explanations of labour's identity and development. It disputes the culturalist methodology and stresses that an alternative model of discourse analysis insists on contextualisation, which in turn re-instates the …
Working‐Class Identities in Europe, 1850s–1930s
This paper notes that the emergence of class‐based politics preceded the advent of factory manufacture and that artisans or skilled workers continued to dominate the labour movement before 1914. It recognises that industrialisation alone does not explain the emergence of socialist politics and that working‐class responses to the process have often been fragmented rather than characterised by solidarity. It first explains this in terms of the unev…

European Labour Protest, 1848-1939
This book, first published in 1981, examines the issues inspiring working-class movements after 1848 in France, Germany and Britain, with some consideration also of Austria, Italy, Spain and Russia. It concentrates on the attitudes of the ordinary working men, rather than the ideologies and the leaders, and considers the many different forms and manifestations of their grievances and means of expression. What emerges is the complexity of the conn…
