Gender, Genre, and Power in South Asian Expressive Traditions

I was just trying to suggest a need for a 'project' of getting the material translated into lingua franca of wider audience or languages such as English, French or Spanish accessible to greater number of international audience.

Dear Nagaraj,

You are of course entirely correct about the use of scholarship in regional Indian languages. I do my best to read relevant works, slowly, in Hindi and Nepali! However, I cannot ask my students to do the same (indeed, we can no longer ask them to read papers in French or German)!

Thank you for your recommendations and links.

Best,

James Hegarty

There is material like this one on Vaishnava Bauls.

This page has a section called messianism which deals with what are called as crisis cults and mentions examples from India.

There is a huge published material in regional Indian languages on this period (18th century)  focussing on the religious cults of the time. As a general note, it may be said that academic material lying in here in Indian regional languages is yet to be recognized and studied by the academics other than those who know the languages.

Could I interject?

I am working on the so called Muslim Vasihnavas of  the 18th century in UP and Bengal.

Any material on this would be most helpful.

Kind regards,

Dear James,

I've found that some of the best materials to teach with for the 19th century are Francis Robinson's and Barbara Metcalf's writings on Islamic intellectuals in UP, Vasudha Dalmia's writings on Bhartendu Harishchandra, and Tanika Sarkar's writings on Hindu women. (Although I have to admit that I have to pick and choose portions of their writings, since their monographs are usually too large for undergraduate courses.)  In any case, those are my personal favorites.

Not long ago, John S. Hawley at Barnard taught an excellent course on religious history in Mughal India with a very comprehensive and up-to-date syllabus; I'm sure that he would be willing to share it (I can't seem to find a copy at the moment...)

Best,

Tyler

Subject: Hindu and Islamic Traditions in the Eighteenth Century
Dear Colleagues,

I am currently preparing a new undergraduate course on the religious history of  South Asia from the early sixteenth century to present.

I am looking for recommendations for studies of Hindu and Islamic movements in the eighteenth century in particular (I have plenty of material on the Sikhs).

Any suggestions will be gratefully received!

With Thanks and Best Wishes,
