Trinity College
The Centre of South Asian Studies - Kingsley Martin Memorial Lecture
Professor Mrinalini Sinha of the University of Michigan will speak on 'The political in question: abolitionism in India's twentieth century'
Histories of politics in India frequently distinguish between the domains of elite and of popular or subaltern politics. The latter is typically expressed in the idiom of the fragment and identified with the particular rather than with the universal. This talk engages with the popular politics of the anti-indenture movement in India to raise the following questions: what happens when popular politics makes a claim to the universal? What does such an “impossible” politics suggest about the nature of the political itself?
There will be a reception afterwards.
