Querying the Medieval: Texts and the History of Practices in South Asia
Inden, Ronald (Professor of South Asian History, Professor of South Asian History, University of Chicago)
The authors look closely at three genres of texts that have been crucial to the representations of pre-colonial India. All three essays challenge not only colonialist scholarship but the attempts by religious nationalists to identify Hinduism as the essence of national identity in India and Buddhism as the essence of nationality in Sri Lanka.
