This volume looks at the concept of the local in Indian history. Through a case study of Bengal, it studies how worldwide currentsbe it colonial governance, pedagogic practices or intellectual rhythmssimultaneously inform and interact with particular local idioms to produce variegated histories of a region. It examines the processes through which the idea of the local gets constituted in different spatial entities such as the frontier province of the Jangal Mahal, the Sundarbans, the dry terrain of Birbhum-Bankura-Purulia and the urban spaces of Calcutta and other small towns. The volume further discusses the various administrative as well as amateur representations of these settings to chart out the ways through which certain spaces get associated with a particular image or history. The chapters in the volume explore a variety of themestextual representations of the region, epistemic practices and educational policies, as well as administrative manoeuvres and governmental practices which helped the state in mapping its people.
An important contribution in the study of Indian history, this interdisciplinary work will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of science and technology studies, history, sociology and social anthropology and South Asian studies.
