Invitation

You are cordially invited to kindly attend the release of the book

FREEDOM FROM INDIA:
A History of Manipur Nationalism

Authored by Malem Ningthouja
Published by Spectrum Publications, Delhi

Tuesday, 30 August 2011, at 3 p.m.

At the Lecture Hall, Department of History,
University of Delhi (North Campus)

The author is a civil rights activist and Ph. D student in the Department of History, University of Delhi. The book is based on his M. Phil Dissertation. He is available at +91 98 999 25345 or mningthouja (at) yahoo.com

ABOUT THE BOOK

The perception of globalisation as an integral phenomenon of modernity has at times identified nationalism with parochial conservatism. The author argues for nationalism as an integral component of modernity with comprehensive politico-cultural expressions which continue to have material and spiritual implications in the age of globalisation.

He identifies Manipur in a theatre of contest where different nationalist forces articulating parallel nationalism contest one another. He draws a parallel between the British colonial rule and the Indian State after 1947.

The author shows a bent on historical materialism in making a critique of nationalism and opens up the debate on the national question in India. While nationhood is being defined as an objective condition, the Manipur example in particular has been cited to show a condition where nationalism was preceding nationhood in the strict Stalinist definition of the term.

The author predicts that mechanical approaches of using military force and administrative manoeuvrings in the name of name of nationalism to serve the vested interest of the few at the cost of the exploited and marginalised would lead to revolt. This is the root cause of instability.

Political scientists and students and historians and policy makers at the helm of affairs, are bound to find much food for thought in this work.

Phil (History) Degree from University of Delhi, Malem Ningthouja has contributed theoretical articles and papers at national and international levels on issues centred on the nationality question in India.
