Acts of resistance and rebellion by groups designated as “tribal” have fascinated as well as perplexed administrators and scholars in South Asia and beyond. Tribal resistance and rebellion are held to be tragic yet heroic political acts by “subaltern” groups confronting omnipotent states. By contrast, this book draws on fifteen years of archival and ethnographic research to argue that statemaking is intertwined inextricably with the politics of tribal resistance in the margins of modern India. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUday Chandra demonstrates how the modern Indian state and its tribal or adivasi subjects have made and remade each other throughout the colonial and postcolonial eras, historical processes of modern statemaking shaping and being shaped by myriad forms of resistance by tribal subjects. Accordingly, tribal resistance, whether peaceful or violent, is better understood vis-à-vis negotiations with the modern state, rather than its negation, over the past two centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book asks for a rethinking and rewriting of the political history of modern India from its “tribal” margins. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orient Blackswan Pvt Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45616484745367,"sku":"9788178246963","price":570.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788178246963.webp?v=1769294915","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/resistance-as-negotiation-making-states-and-tribes-in-the-margins-of-modern-india-9788178246963","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
