Vinayak Chaturvedi's analysis provides an important intervention in the social and cultural history of India by examining the nature of peasant discourses and practices during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Through rigorous archival study and fieldwork, Chaturvedi shows that peasants in Gujarat were active in the production and circulation of political ideas, establishing critiques of the state and society while promoting complex understandings of political community. By turning to the heartland of M.K. Gandhi's support, Chaturvedi shows that the vast majority of peasants were opposed to nationalism in the early decades of the twentieth century. He argues that nationalists in Gujarat established power through the use of coercion and violence, as they imagined a nation in which they could dominate social relations. Chaturvedi suggests that this little told story is necessary to understand not only anticolonial nationalism but the direction of postcolonial nationalism as well. 606 $aDharalas$xHistory$y19th century$xHistoriography 606 $aDharalas$xHistory$y20th century$xHistoriography 606 $aDharalas$xPolitical activity 606 $aDharalas$xSocial conditions$y19th century 606 $aDharalas$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aNationalism$zIndia$zGujarat$xHistoriography 610 $a19th century indian culture. 610 $a19th century indian history. 610 $a20th century indian culture. 610 $a20th century indian history. 610 $aanticolonial nationalism. 610 $aasian history. 610 $acoercion. 610 $acolonialism. 610 $ademographic studies. 610 $adiplomacy. 610 $agovernment and governing. 610 $agujarat. 610 $aindia. 610 $aindian colonialism. 610 $aindian history. 610 $ainterdisciplinary. 610 $anationalism. 610 $apeasant politics. 610 $apeasants. 610 $apolitical community. 610 $apolitical ideas. 610 $apolitics. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asocial relations. 610 $astate formation. 610 $avillages. 610 $aviolence. 610 $awestern india. 615 0$aDharalas$xHistory$xHistoriography. 615 0$aDharalas$xHistory$xHistoriography. 615 0$aDharalas$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aDharalas$xSocial conditions 615 0$aDharalas$xSocial conditions 615 0$aNationalism$xHistoriography. 676 $a305.5/6309547 700 $aChaturvedi$b Vinayak$01479211 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784420003321 996 $aPeasant pasts$93695220 997 $aUNINA
