The Politics of Self-Expression : The Urdu Middleclass Milieu in Mid-Twentieth Century India and Pakistan PDF
by Markus Daechsel
Part of the Royal Asiatic Society Books series
Description
The 1930s to 1950s witnessed the rise and dominance of a political culture across much of North India which combined unprecedented levels of mobilization and organization with an effective de-politicization of politics.
On the one hand obsessed with world events, people also came to understand politics as a question of personal morality and achievement.
In other words, politics was about expressing the self in new ways and about finding and securing an imaginary home in a fast-moving and often terrifying universe.
The scope and arguments of this book make an innovative contribution to the historiography of modern South Asia, by focusing on the middle-class milieu which was the epicentre of this new political culture.
