"This book undertakes a critical reexamination of this seeming nationalist resolution of the caste question by scrutinizing the processes whereby the ironing out of caste-difference was produced and situating Mandal within them. It denaturalizes the self-evidence of Dalit integration by paying attention to how their political radicalization was contained. In so doing, it reorients the terms of reference through which Dalit politics in Bengal has been understood from preoccupations about proximity and integration with Indian nationalism, to an evaluation of the possibilities for and eventual failure of Dalit political power. My concerns are therefore trained at the specific issue of how and why the caste question, as formulated by Mandal, eventually found no fertile terrain in the east. The historical and contemporary relevance of the matter stems from the fact that wherever such politics has made its presence felt in the legislative institutions of independent India--whether the Republican Party of India or the Bahujan Samaj Party--it has done so under the sign and inspiration of Ambedkar, animated by concerns of Dalit political autonomy. An examination of Mandal's historical trajectory is therefore essential to this endeavor. I thereby share the conceit that it is equally the "spokesman who creates the group" than the other way around. As this book will suggest, the eventual failure of his political struggle, following as it did on a remarkably vibrant phase, is an instructive and meaningful one. His exceptionality is precisely what enables this revisionist attempt to tell a crucial chapter in the largely untold story of what Partha Chattopadhyay has called Bengal's 'social counter-revolution'"-- Maṇḍala, Yogendranātha 1904-1968 fast Maṇḍala, Yogendranātha 1904-1968 Maṇḍala, Yogendranātha 1904-1968 (DE-588)1176837842 gnd 1900-1999 fast Geschichte 1932-1968 gnd Diskriminierung (DE-588)4012472-1 gnd Geschichtswissenschaft (DE-588)4020535-6 gnd Hinduismus (DE-588)4024955-4 gnd Soziale Schichtung (DE-588)4077574-4 gnd Caste fast Dalits Political activity fast Politics and government fast Kaste (DE-588)4163401-9 gnd Paria (DE-588)4173338-1 gnd Dalits Political activity India Bengal History 20th century Caste India Bengal History Gleichberechtigung (DE-588)4021216-6 gnd Politische Mobilisierung (DE-588)4277493-7 gnd Britisch-Indien (DE-588)132398-2 gnd Indien (DE-588)4026722-2 gnd Pakistan (DE-588)4075812-6 gnd India Bengal fast Bengalen (DE-588)1054631026 gnd Bengal (India) Politics and government 20th century History fast u LB 45385 idslu LR u LB 45387 idslu LR ebook version BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 UESZ-20190125 nebis EN NL201902 idslu L1 250 IDS LU NEBIS UESZ UESZ ULESZ ESZ AW: 2702 IDSLU LUUHL LUUHL UHFRE LB 45385 2018 NEBIS 100 1- Sen Dwaipayan ca. 20./21.
