Abstract

In this article, I examine the ways in which ideas of martyrdom are employed by Gujjars in Rajasthan to describe their experiences of participating in the 2006 and 2007 Gujjar Andolan (protest), serving in the army, and in their telling of the Devnarayan epic. I take as a starting point the manner in which the bodies of Gujjars killed in police firing during the andolan were laid out for 17 days at the site of the andolan while Gujjar men and women recited the Devnarayan epic. The laying out of the martyred bodies then becomes a site for the production of caste belonging and caste love.

抗议的神权政治:古贾尔安道兰的殉难、军队和史诗

在这篇文章中，我研究了拉贾斯坦邦的古吉加人如何运用殉难的概念来描述他们参加2006年和2007年的古吉加人抗议活动、在军队服役以及讲述Devnarayan史诗的经历。我以这样的方式作为起点:在andolan期间，在警察射击中丧生的Gujjar人的尸体被放置在andolan现场17天，而Gujjar男人和女人则背诵Devnarayan史诗。殉教者遗体的摆放成为种姓归属和种姓之爱产生的场所。

期刊介绍： Contributions to Indian Sociology (CIS) is a peer-reviewed journal which has encouraged and fostered cutting-edge scholarship on South Asian societies and cultures over the last 50 years. Its features include research articles, short comments and book reviews. The journal also publishes special issues to highlight new and significant themes in the discipline. CIS invites articles on all countries of South Asia, the South Asian diaspora as well as on comparative studies related to the region. The journal favours articles in which theory and data are mutually related. It welcomes a diversity of theoretical approaches and methods. CIS was founded by Louis Dumont and David Pocock in 1957 but ceased publication in 1966. A new series commenced publication the next year (1967) at the initiative of T.N. Madan with the support of an international group of scholars including Professors Louis Dumont, A.C. Mayer, Milton Singer and M.N. Srinivas. Published annually till 1974, Contributions became a biannual publication in 1975. From 1999, the journal has been published thrice a year.
