Reviews
'Daechsel's study is a deeply thoughtful and rich one, with interesting readings of Urdu sources, and a sophisticated, intriguing argument. His book is an important intervention in the growing work on the politics of selfhood in South Asia, in an interdisciplinary style which admirably suits the complexity of its subject matter and themes' - Javed Majeed, Queen Mary, University of London
'The book is a major contribution to historical studies in the Indian subcontinent, and its importance for an analysis of contemporary self-expressionist movements is immense.' - Farhan Hanif Siddiqi, University of Karachi, Pakistan, - Contemporary South Asia 17.3, 2009
