State Matters- Kannada Sub-Nationalism and State Formation
₹430.00Author: Rajendra Chenni
State Matters: Kannada Subnationalism and State Formation analyzes the formation of a linguistic state and the inevitability of the contradictions arising from material and historical conditions. It examines the historical and political context which led to the emergence and acceptance of linguistic or regional identities during the freedom struggle, a struggle which ironically tried to subsume these identities into one master discourse of the nation.
This book, traversing disciplinary boundaries, weaves complex disparate elements into the concept of linguistic subnationality. It underlines how linguistic subnationality is sustained against the push and pull of caste/class hegemony, national party-based politics, and larger forces of development and globalization.

Decolonial Existence and Urban Sensibility: A Study on Mahesh Elkunchwar
₹450.00Author: Sayan Dey
The book Decolonial Existence and Urban Sensibility: A Study on Mahesh Elkunchwar meticulously reflects upon some of the selected translated plays of Marathi playwright Mahesh Elkunchwar. It revolves around the themes of decolonial existence and urban sensibility in contemporary India as portrayed in his plays with respect to post-independent urban existence, socio-cultural existence and gender. The book also looks forward to establish a counterargument against the idealized and totalitarian definitions of West-centric existentialist philosophy, and establish indigenous dimensions of decolonial existence within specific contexts. It dismantles the colonially structured existing binaries of urban/rural, ethical/unethical and high culture/low culture through the diverse portrayal of human relationships in contemporary India and broadly addresses two inter-mingled perspectives. Firstly, it outlines the thematic and dramatic perspectives of the selected plays of Mahesh Elkunchwar and secondly, it explores the multi-dimensional philosophical perspectives that encapsulate the theoretical latitude of decoloniality and urban sensibility.
