Rewriting the Language of Politics: Kisan of Colonial Bihar

  • Format:

Of late the need to retrieve subaltern voices to tell stories of the marginalized has been felt but efforts in that direction remain invisible hitherto. Attempting to address the lacuna, this book examines archival and folk sources to explore political articulations of Bihari peasants during colonial times. The book engages with their articulations in the spheres of culture and religion that together gave kisan politics its meaning. Migration, agrarian 'crimes', rumour, religion and caste are examined as changing languages of kisan politics. \n
