The Colonial State: Theory and Practice
The aim in this work is to address, through historical narrativization of some specific moments of colonial state building, the question: What, in theory, are the historical specificities of the 'colonial' state as distinct from other state forms? An attempt is made in this book, to weave together the discourse of state theory and the narrative of state practices. This approach is based on the argument that theory was not something out there to guide practice. Empirical evidence suggests a more complex picture of interaction between the two where, within parameters structured by theory, the practice in turn produces and structures theory at each conjuncture.

Towards Freedom
Part of the Towards Freedom series, this volume contains primary sources and archival documents related to the year 1946. The first part systematically covers different aspects of the history of British India beginning with events in the anti-British movements in 1946, including the protests against the trial of the officers and soldiers of the Indian National Army and the famous incident of the Royal Indian Navy Mutiny. Chapter Two covers the various political parties, with special attention to the Communist Part of India and the Hindu Mahasabha. The latter is also the subject of documentation research in a separate chapter entitled "Communalism." Chapters Three and Four are braodly concerned with peasant and the industrial working classes, the economic conditions and economic policies in 1946, caste movements, and linguistic regional movements. At the end of chapter Five there are also two small sections addressing the question of women's status and culture.
Saffronising Education-Acche Din
What began with the trashing and pulping of a book on gods and renewed litigation against an Indologist has now taken a more distinct shape in terms of the approach to education itself, most of which seems to project an obscurantist and insular India even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is busy forging bonds outside the country. The manner in which the previous National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government went about rectifying the “errors” in National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) textbooks, with the aim of purging them of alleged Marxist and Macaulayan influence, left no one in doubt that school textbooks would once again be a target of the present government in the name of correcting historical wrongs.
