Description
Whereas most studies of colonialism focus on India's 'high' literary culture, this book looks at how local intellectuals exploited their 'middling' position through such initiatives as the establishment of newspapers and of influential channels of communication.
Examines the relationship between linguistic hierarchies, textual practices and power in colonial western India.
