Abstract

There are a large number of contested spaces, objects, monuments, historical figures, events and memories in North-eastern states of India. Their commemorations often incite historical controversies, which often spill into the fragile, contested political landscape of the region. The construction of a memorial park at the site of nineteenth century stone inscriptions recently dragged these inscriptions out from historical obscurity, and hence they became another site of contested history in the region. This article historicises the creation of these contested objects and commemorations, in the local and colonial archives, and subsequent writing of national histories in the region. It will also look at the entanglements and intertextualities between these archives and local histories, and how they produced these contested objects and their numerous histories.

(重读)《赤午石刻:印度东北部的殖民档案、民族历史和纪念》

在印度东北部，有大量有争议的空间、物体、纪念碑、历史人物、事件和记忆。他们的纪念活动往往会引发历史争议，这些争议往往会蔓延到该地区脆弱、有争议的政治格局中。在19世纪石刻遗址上建造的纪念公园最近将这些碑文从历史上的默默无闻中拉了出来，因此它们成为该地区另一个有争议的历史遗址。这篇文章将这些有争议的物品和纪念活动的创造历史，在当地和殖民地的档案中，以及随后在该地区的国家历史写作中。它还将关注这些档案与当地历史之间的纠缠和互文性，以及它们如何产生这些有争议的物品及其众多历史。

期刊介绍： The Indian Historical Review (IHR), a peer reviewed journal, addresses research interest in all areas of historical studies, ranging from early times to contemporary history. While its focus is on the Indian subcontinent, it has carried historical writings on other parts of the world as well. Committed to excellence in scholarship and accessibility in style, the IHR welcomes articles which deal with recent advancements in the study of history and discussion of method in relation to empirical research. All articles, including those which are commissioned, are independently and confidentially refereed. The IHR will aim to promote the work of new scholars in the field. In order to create a forum for discussion, it will be interested in particular in writings which critically respond to articles previously published in this journal. The IHR has been published since 1974 by the Indian Council of Historical Research. It is edited by an Editorial Board appointed by the Council. The Council also obtains the advice and support of an Advisory Committee which comprises those members of the Council who are not members of the editorial board.
