"How do we understand those ascetics who have developed an extremely elaborate martial tradition and yet have taken strict vows of non-violence, especially when, for some ascetics today, that tradition has been put at the service of the most extreme forms of Hindu militancy? And how is that tough union leaders can, with conviction, share the same ideas as Gandhi, or that Brahmins scarcely hesitate before using the stick, even though they loudly and insistently 328 pp.…

Mapping the Nation's Body territorial processions in propaganda videos of the Hindu right/Christiane Brosius. This volume tackles a widespread stereotype in academic studies according to which pre colonial India consisted of territorial units with ill defined fuzzy boundaries and where territory had and still has little value as a cognitive category. In aiming to reconsider this perspective the book follows two converging lines of enquiry. One explores the conceptions that stress the mutual determination of places and people and the entrenchment of their identity in the soil. The other analyses historically and anthropologically the changing nature of the notion of territory understood in its proper sense of a jurisdiction an area where rights and power are exercised. The investigation starts from the devaluation of religious territory in Vedic ritual texts checks later developments of divine territories in relation to temples details various types of traditional jurisdictions and ends up with an analysis of recent ethnicization of the Nation as shown in Hindutva produced videos. The book combines a diversity of sources (ethnographical archival textual and inscriptions) used by an international team of authors trained in different disciplines (Indology history of religion social anthropology). These approaches provide contrasting pictures of the plural conceptions and symbolic manipulations of territory in the Indian world from early times to the present day. The studies invite a comparison with other societies based on the recognition of the historicity and plurality of territorial organizations that are at the core of human relationships. 380 pp.…
