Abstract The street protests of the upper caste Hindus and the members of the erstwhile royal family under the leadership of the BJP–RSS against the verdict of the Supreme Court of India on opening the Sabarimala temple for women of all age groups demonstrate the deep malaise of creeping irrationality in the globally acclaimed project of Kerala modernity. In fact, such outbursts not only unveil the longstanding contradictions of Kerala modernity and the inadequacies of its developmental model but also bound to have serious implications for the multicultural ethos and the radical politics of the state. The rising tide of social conservatism and obscurantism retard Kerala into state of gloom and the depletion of its vibrant civil society and solid social capital leading communalising everyday life and public sphere.

Abstract The academic discourse of the mass violence that took place during the Partition/Independence of India and Pakistan has acquired certain maturity over the decades. The corpus of literature generated has been insightful and path-breaking. In the backdrop of this scholarship, the current article attempts to engage with the experiences of witnessing and emphasize upon transformative potential of such encounters. With few Partition-based Hindi films, this study also looks at the landscape of the Partition on the celluloid, where the screen converges with history and where the memory of trauma generates guilt. Mobilising the fieldwork conducted seventeen–eighteen years ago in Delhi, Ajmer and Jammu along with the cinematic representations and written corpus on the Partition, an engagement with the figure of a witness in this article will hopefully allow us to engage with memory, archive and the mass violence with fresh questions and perspectives.

Abstract This article provides a long-term narrative of movements for social change in Bihar, precipitated by the steady rise to political power by the Backward Classes/Castes in the state, since 1989. Locating this moment in a longer momentum of struggle since the 1920s, it probes the antecedents of recent social change in Bihar politics. Contextualising this process within a long recessional, it traces a larger democratic cycle of empowerment going back to the early twentieth century. The article attempts the historicisation of Bihar politics by drawing upon a variety of sources—from official records to newspapers—and supplementing them with relevant secondary literature.
