Broschiertes Buch

Nation, Gender and Cultures of Violence

A Reading of Gulabi Talkies, Firaq and Afterlife of Birds

Beschreibung

This book is an attempt to study the trajectories and workings of 'othering' within the framework of the Nation-State, specifically the Indian Nation-State. It is interesting to understand the positioning of the 'Indian Muslim' as an 'other' who has to prove his/her loyalty, unlike the dominant subject of the Indian Nation-State. A closer observation of situations and events, today, suggests a presence of more than a religious shade to this aspect of 'othering'.
