Kris Manjapra traces the intersecting ideas and careers of philologists, physicists, poets, economists, and others who shared ideas, formed networks, and studied one another's worlds. Moving beyond well-rehearsed critiques of colonialism, this study recasts modern intellectual history in terms of the knotted intellectual itineraries of seeming strangers. Collaborations in the sciences, arts, and humanities produced extraordinary meetings of German and Indian minds. Meghnad Saha met Albert Einstein, Stella Kramrisch brought the Bauhaus to Calcutta, and Girindrasekhar Bose began a correspondence with Sigmund Freud. Rabindranath Tagore traveled to Germany to recruit scholars for a new university, and Himanshu Rai worked with Franz Osten to establish movie studios in Bombay. These interactions, Manjapra argues, evinced shared responses to the hegemony of the British empire. Germans and Indians hoped to find in one another the tools needed to disrupt an Anglocentric world order. As Manjapra demonstrates, transnational encounters are not inherently progressive. From Orientalism to Aryanism to scientism, German-Indian entanglements were neither necessarily liberal nor conventionally cosmopolitan, often characterized as much by manipulation as by genuine cooperation. 410 0$aHarvard historical studies ;$vv. 183. 606 $aLearning and scholarship$zIndia$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLearning and scholarship$zIndia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLearning and scholarship$zGermany$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLearning and scholarship$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aIndia$xIntellectual life$y19th century 607 $aIndia$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aGermany$xIntellectual life$y19th century 607 $aGermany$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aIndia$xRelations$zGermany 607 $aGermany$xRelations$zIndia 615 0$aLearning and scholarship$xHistory 615 0$aLearning and scholarship$xHistory 615 0$aLearning and scholarship$xHistory 615 0$aLearning and scholarship$xHistory 676 $a303.48/243054 700 $aManjapra$b Kris$f1978-$01646240 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828147203321 996 $aAge of entanglement$93993121 997 $aUNINA
