TL;DR: The nationalist response to the treatment of women in India by identifying a scriptural tradition was to construct a reformed tradition and defend it on the grounds of modernity as mentioned in this paper, creating the image of a new woman who was superior to Western women, traditional Indian women, and low-class women.
Abstract: Colonial texts condemned the treatment of women in India by identifying a scriptural tradition. The nationalist response was to construct a reformed tradition and defend it on the grounds of modernity. In the process, it created the image of a new woman who was superior to Western women, traditional Indian women and low-class women. This new patriarchy invested women with the dubious honor of representing a distinctively modern national culture. [Colonial discourse, nationalism, gender construction, cultural modernity]

TL;DR: The first volume of Subaltern Studies as discussed by the authors was published in 1982, twenty-five years ago, and it was part of the editorial group that launched, under the leadership of Ranajit Guha, this critical engagement with Indian modernity from the standpoint of the subaltern classes especially the peasantry.
Abstract: Peasant Society Today The first volume of Subaltern Studies was published in 1982, twenty-five years ago. I was part of the editorial group that launched, under the leadership of Ranajit Guha, this critical engagement with Indian modernity from the standpoint of the subaltern classes, especially the peasantry. In the quarter of a century that has passed since then, there has been, I believe, a fundamental change in the situation prevailing in post-colonial India. The new conditions under which global flows of capital, commodities, information and people are now regulated - a complex set of phenomena generally clubbed under the category of globalization - have created both new opportunities and new obstacles for the Indian ruling classes.

11 Apr 1998TL;DR: This paper explored the changing role of photographic portraiture in India over the last 150 years and found that a distinctive post-colonial photographic practice emerges, characterized by a sophisticated inventiveness using techniques such as overpainting, collage and composite printing.
Abstract: Exploring the changing role of photographic portraiture in India over the last 150 years, this is an anthropological study of photographic practice in the everyday realm of Indian society. The book combines historical and ethnographic perspectives, based on the author's own experiences in India. Pinney looks at significant "moments" in Indian photography and considers the ways in which photographic portraiture reflects changing political interests, a decreasing desire to fix identity, and a broader popular visual culture. A distinctive post-colonial photographic practice emerges, characterized by a sophisticated inventiveness using techniques such as overpainting, collage and composite printing. Much of the book is concerned with the production of such images by studios in a small central-Indian town, and it aims to provide readers with a sense of their use and significance.
