But Jangam\u2019s work challenges this dominant narrative by recording the precolonial anti-caste egalitarian consciousness of Dalits expressed through their cultural creations as being a part of anti-cultural nationalism. In the same vein, on the basis of empirical data and critical engagement this work has successfully expanded Indian history via Dalit discourse and public sphere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/pacificaffairs.ubc.ca\/book-reviews\/dalits-and-the-making-of-modern-india-by-chinnaiah-jangam\/\">full review<\/a> is available online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vivek Kumar of Jawaharlal Nehru University in India, writing a review in UBC&#8217;s Journal of Paccific Affairs, says Dalits and the Making of Modern India by Carleton History professor Chinnaiah Jangam is \u201cis a significant addition to the literature associated with Dalits because in contemporary India most writing on Dalits begins with the colonial context [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9225,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[43,1,105],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-history","category-news","category-publications"],"acf":{"cu_post_thumbnail":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18893"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18893\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18894,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18893\/revisions\/18894"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
