It looks at this engagement primarily through the vernacular archives, and explores the divergent, sometimes conflicting, trends in the articulations of nationalism in the Civil Disobedience movement and the Congress. This essay draws upon Masselos’ work and focuses on the spatial templates of the Civil Disobedience movement. It maps the relationship between the functioning of the local units of the Congress and the political infrastructure of the city’s mill districts. It argues that there was a co-relation between their mobilization practices in the city’s working-class neighborhoods and their attempt to appropriate social spaces.","PeriodicalId":258557,"journal":{"name":"Bombay Before Mumbai","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126391432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Haynes","doi":"10.1093/oso/9780190061708.003.0005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190061708.003.0005","url":null,"abstract":"This essay explores the ways Europeans in interwar Bombay sustained their cultural identity as a distinct ethnic group despite the impermanent character of their residence in the city, their dispersed settlement patterns over much of southern Bombay, and the decline of their political dominance in the context of Indian nationalism. The essay particularly points to the creation of an intense sociality centered around social clubs, parties, and jazz performances. It also stresses the role of European associational life and the role of sports (for instance, cricket, hunting, yachting and golf) to the production of a continued sense of community and identity. By suggesting that the context of declining European power was critical to the ways Europeans reproduced their community, this essay contributes to the emergence of a new perspective on South Asian urban history that suggests that historians must abandon the concept of the colonial city during the post- World War I period. Europeans were now just one community in a city of communities that were undergoing parallel processes of making and remaking.","PeriodicalId":258557,"journal":{"name":"Bombay Before Mumbai","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122076116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It draws on Jim Masselos’ work on migration and identity in Bombay to show how framing a new identity enabled Persian Zoroastrians to be considered on their own terms, rather than being subsumed as part of the Parsi poor in the city.

The growth of Muslim labor communities in Bombay was accompanied by the development of popular festivities drawn in many cases from the villages and towns from which workers migrated. However, the new scale and setting of these carnivals raised widespread concerns among both colonial and indigenous elites in which working class festivals were linked with social disorder and moral depravity. Ultimately, both parties often adopted a strategy of regulating rather than prohibiting such carnivals. By reading Persian manuscripts and Urdu lithographs associated with a leading Bombay shaykh, this chapter shows how Sufis became important players in the mission to discipline the bodies of the urban lower classes, a project they shared with Hindu, Christian and Parsi reformers. By preaching rules for proper behavior while attending Bombay’s carnivals, Habib ‘Ali Shah (d. 1906) found an effective means of reshaping the physical culture of the new Muslim urban working class reared by Bombay’s mills and dockyards.","PeriodicalId":258557,"journal":{"name":"Bombay Before Mumbai","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128177689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
