Event Description : The Nehru Memorial Museum and Library cordially invites you to a Seminar on ‘Parallel publics: Towards a Dalit history of democracy’ by Dr. Ramnarayan Rawat, University of Delaware, USA.
Abstract : Drawing from the activities of the Adi-Hindu Mahasabha and Swami Achutanand's writings in the early twentieth century, this paper analyzes Dalit organizations that played a crucial role in constituting two important forms of democratic practice. It first traces the emergence of the innovative practice of counter-demonstrations, in which Dalit groups actively contested Congress agendas and outlined their own agendas. And second, it examines the Adi-Hindu Mahasabha's use of printed publications to frame and articulate a political critique of power.
Speaker : Dr. Ramnarayan Rawat teaches history in the University of Delaware. He is currently working on his second book, A New History of Democracy: Dalit Spaces, Printing, and Practices in North India, which has been funded by two generous fellowships; the American Council of Learned Societies’ Charles Ryskamp fellowship (2013), and the senior American Institute of Indian Studies (2009). His first book, Reconsidering Untouchability: Chamars and Dalit History in North India, 2012 and 2011, is the recipient of Joseph Elder book prize (AIIS, 2009) and received ‘Honorable Mention’ in 2013 Association of Asian Studies Bernard S Cohn book prize. Dr. Rawat’s work has been supported by Mellon and Rockefeller postdoctoral fellowships; Guggenheim dissertation fellowship; and SEPHIS doctoral fellowship.
