It examines the debates over language among the elite of this region during a period of extraordinary social and political change inthe late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Language debates closely reflect power relations among different sections of society, such as those delineated by nation, ethnicity, region, religion, caste, class, and gender. They are intimately linkedwith the process by which individuals and groups of people try to define and project themselves in response to changing political, economic, and social environments. Based on rich historical sources, including official records, periodicals, literary texts, memoirs, and private papers, this book vividly shows the impact that colonialism, nationalism, and the process of nation-building had on the ideas of language among different groups, as well as how various ideas of language competed and negotiated witheach other. Language, Identity, and Power in Modern India: Gujarat, will be of particular interest to students and scholars working on South Asian history and to those interested in issues of language, society, and politics in different partsof the modern world"--
