Book excerpt: "When the British Parliament ordered a sum to be set apart out of the revenues of India, for instructing a native population--it never could have been intended to teach them sedition." This is how The Calcutta Courier, a pro-British newspaper responded to the publication of Kylas Chunder Dutts novella A Journal of Forty Eight Hours in the Year 1945 in 1835, almost seventy-five years after the British first established their rule in Bengal. As the British East India Company expanded its rule across Indian territories in the late eighteenth century, a British education network was also established with the intent of "instructing a native population." Inadvertently, British education, which led to frequent Anglo-Indian cross cultural interactions, gave rise to an elite population that was soon able to compose works of literature in English and to articulate their own sense of identity and nationhood through English literary forms. A period of cross-cultural interactions led to what has come to be known as "the Bengal Renaissance," a cultural and social reform movement in Bengal that witnessed a re-awakening in Bengali art, literature, and intellectualism. Most importantly, it observed the emergence of nationalist sentiments that became central to the ideological foundations of the Indian Independence Movement, a series of mass-backed struggles from which the modern nation-states of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh arose. The Renaissances best known marker was the prolific literary production by Bengals Hindu elite in the nineteenth century. This literature charted a trajectory that began with English poetry in the late 1820s and found its culmination in Bankim Chandra Chatterjees Bengali novel Anandamath (1882). In my thesis, I trace this trajectory beginning with relatively obscure works of Bengali literature in English published before the 1857 War of Independence. Using a postcolonial theoretical framework and drawing especially on Frantz Fanons thought on phases of colonial writing, I comparatively analyze several literary works of this period and show how they set ideological precedents for Anandamath, where a clear articulation of Indian identity as Hindu identity is found. While Anandamath is widely recognized as an early articulation of religious nationalist ideology called "Hindutva," I demonstrate how its roots can be traced back to the strong nativist sentiments recurrently expressed in literary works published since the early phase of Bengal Renaissance. Such studies of colonial literature, I propose, need urgent attention.

Book excerpt: This history of the changing perceptions of, and attitudes towards Europe in nineteenth-century Bengal among the Bengali intelligentsia examines in detail the ideas of three key men during a time of social, cultural, and intellectual confrontation between the East and the West: Bhudev Mukhopadhyay, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, and Swami Vivekananda. It explores their attempts to grapple with the intellectual dilemma of their times as represented by the East-West encounter. The three men possessed considerable scholarship and erudition, and came from the same social milieu of upper-class urban Bengal, yet each had very different perceptions of the West. The nineteenth-century Bengali experience under colonialism was part of a global phenomenon inasmuch as the province, like many other areas of Asia, was subject to European imperialism. Bengal was thus "perhaps the earliest manifestation of the revolution in the mental world of Asia's elite groups." Nearer home, it represented the general experience of the Indian subcontinent as a whole, but at "its most complex and well informed level." These changing perceptions and attitudes mediated all new initiatives in the society and polity of Asian peoples in modern times. The changes, in their turn, were crucially influenced by perceptions of Europe. The author explores the ideas regarding Europe as presented in the writings of these three very influential writers, who represented as well as shaped widely held opinions. The book touches on orientalism, hermeneutics, cultural contact between Europe and Asia, European expansion, the nineteenth-century 'Renaissance' in India, and the colonial middle classes in Asia. It is a significant addition to the meagre literature available on Indian perceptions of the West. In his new introduction to this new edition the author links the book to the wider themes in his current research; he also explains points in his argument which, he feels, have been misunderstood. Appended to this edition is a memorial lecture by the author in honour of his teacher, Susobhan Sarkar, which reassesses the concept of the 'Bengal Renaissance.'

Book excerpt: Extensive historical research and a detailed examination of the English poetry written by Indians in the nineteenth century in its social, historical, and political contexts, reveals the engagement of the colonized with one of the implements of colonization the English language. This study shows how the intertextuality that existed between this body of verse and concurrent Orientalist scholarship on the ancient Indian heritage resulted, ultimately in a complex appropriation, by the Indians, of British scholarship on India for nationalist, literary, social, and personal issues, such as its anticipation of the formation of the modern Indian identity. A thorough examination of the correlation between the poetry and its background uncovers certain startling differences between current perceptions of colonial relations and actual historical records. For example, the common belief that English education was imposed upon the colonized is reversed through an examination of the Indians own initiative in this field long before the missionaries or Macaulay s famous minute. Similarly, the claim that all English education in India was a vehicle for the Christianizing of natives is refuted through the personal reminiscences of David Hare, eminent educationist, who opposed it vehemently. The author examines works by Henry Derozio, Kasiprasad Ghosh, Michael Madhusudhan Dutt, the Dutt family, and, in conclusion, the poems of Toru Dutt and Rabindranath Tagore. Refuting a simple equation of the exploitation of knowledge as power between the colonizer and the colonized, the author argues for a more nuanced approach, positing that the complexities of the situation meant also an active appropriation of Orientalist scholarship by Indians for their own ends: they tended to take just that which they found good and liked best . This would grant an agency to the colonial Indian subject which has so far gone unrecognized, and place a whole body of colonial verse in the situational flux of interchange and assimilation. This work asserts that it is time now to listen to what the orient made of its interaction with the West, and to lend an ear to what the colonized said. Rosinka Chaudhuri is a scholar of literary criticism and history from Oxford, who specializes in nineteenth-century Bengal. She is a Fellow at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta. Her articles have appeared in several journals and anthologies.
