Framing of Birsa in the heroic narrative through a grand scale of memorialisation, often in the form of the built environment, curates a selective version. This isolates the scope of elaborating his political ideas outside the confines of atypical historical records and their relevance in the contemporary context. The book argues that everyday politics through affective sites such as memorials and statues produce political visions, emotions, and opportunities.

This process outlines how the state and Adivasi use memory as a political tool to lay claims to the past of the Birsa Movement. Focusing on Birsa Munda, the book brings a new scholarship on resource and identity politics in India. It draws attention to memorialisation as a political process that brings crucial changes in the emergent political discourse. Crucially, it offers competing political claims about the historical past of Birsa and its representation today. This item is printed on demand.
