The picture-gallery episode of the Pṛthvīrājavijaya Mahākāvyar : translation of the eleventh sarga and analysis of its political application
No full textThis thesis responds to Sheldon Pollock’s 1993 article “Rāmāyaṇa and Political Imagination in India” in which he examines the causes for the emergence of Rāmāyaṇa symbolism in the political discourse of early medieval South Asia. The Pṛthvīrājavijaya Mahākāvya is a prime example of the deployment of the Rāmāyaṇa to the political imagination of this period and is one of the major sources for Pollock’s argument. The most vivid example of the use of the Rāmāyaṇa in this poem occurs in the eleventh sarga. A translation of that sarga is offered here. Following the translation is an analysis of the major features of Pollock’s argument and a suggestion of another paradigm for approaching this category of literature. A summary of the entire poem, notes on its author, and the full text of the sarga in the original Sanskrit (Roman transliteration) are offered as appendicesAsian Studie

India and Pakistan
No full textThe rise of ethnic and religious conflicts in the post-Cold War era has reawakened consideration of the future of nationalism and the nation state. The Indian subcontinent with its myriad ethnic, religious and linguistic divides provides a focus for examination of the interplay between nationalism, religion and ethnicity. The region's growing violence and instability is in part a result of this process, sharpened by social inequalities and the struggle to control scarce resources. This book provides a historical understanding of the chequered process of nation-building in the subcontinent. In particular, the author examines the role of "parochial" allegiances and the impact of contemporary processes of economic and cultural globalization on nationalist and localist allegiances. And, in introducing the increasingly important role of overseas South Asian communities in the political mobilization of the homeland, the reader is shown the complexities of South Asian society and the effects of its relationship with the state on the process of nation-building in India and Pakistan
