The arrangement is, broadly speaking, chronological. The early chapters discuss early Western writings-with an amusing foray into the 1786 translation of the Ain, whose compiler Dirks finds ’spent far more time delineating the kinbased local social categories that actually made up the local social order than it did commenting on caste .... And under direct Mughal rule, the most salient titles conferring status were those that signified a relationship to or an honour derived from the Mughal court, such as Mansabdar, Zamindar, or Bahadur’ (p. 20).

It examines several school textbooks from India and Pakistan that deal with the freedom struggles in these countries for a purpose: to understand how they remember their not-so-distant and shared past, and the manner in which they bequeath that memory to their young. Krishna Kumar’s careful and incisive analysis of these school books demonstrates how their discursive coordinates are, in fact, determined by the imperatives of nationbuilding and good citizenship. Stories are told or not told, elaborated or paraphrased, made mute or eloquent to produce narratives that instil in the young a measure of patriotic pride and loyalty. In the textbook world, the agents of history are not men and women, who act at the behest of circumstances which are given to them and which they actively try to transform. Rather, they constitute a veritable pantheon that the child is expected to automatically venerate and emulate. The past, in this reckoning of time, exists chiefly as exemplum-it is a morality tale that can only be understood in stark oppositional terms: nationalist/(imperial) loyalist, Hindu/Muslim, secular/ communal. History itself is an adventure story, episodic in the main, and dramatic, in what are clearly its climactic moments-August 1942, Direct Action day .... Why has history teaching in both countries assumed this allegorical form? For one, this has to do with how education is conceived in either-a learning and committing to memory, sets of facts that encapsulate, rather than explicate and interpret meaning. Textbooks are central to this enterprise and the history textbook, like its counterparts, exists only for this purpose-to demand a knowing that is enumerative and formal.","PeriodicalId":45806,"journal":{"name":"Indian Economic and Social History Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86476068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here I have attempted to show how the Intensive Campaign of the NSEP was forced to abandon its erstwhile language of targets and returns, whose acme was the mass vaccination strategy of the 1960s, and switch instead to a language of crisis and cases. It instituted a new practice where vaccination once again became a moment in a larger armamentarium, though not in quite the same way that variolation was a moment in a larger therapeutic structure in the eighteenth century. Unlike variolation, where it was self-imposed, the eradication campaign's rediscovery of individual segregation as a necessary tool, and village and community as hallowed space, were coupled with an imagery of the kill. In this imagery, smallpox had been radically transformed from a goddess to a demon that was no longer to be solicited and purged but fought against and vanquished. This leads us to two models of consecration and healing in the movement from the eighteenth to the twentieth century: from Sitala and the self to body populations and the state.","PeriodicalId":45806,"journal":{"name":"Indian Economic and Social History Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74935247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
