Routine Violence Nations, Fragments, Histories

"Routine violence is violence that has sunk into a zone of indiscernibility between the unnoted and the legitimate. It must be described in detail to be lifted out of that zone. And those who do so must bring a spirituality to description that contests violence all the way down. In this superb history of routine violence in twentieth-century India, Gyan Pandey does just that." William E. Connolly,Johns Hopkins University "This is a remarkably fine set of essays on the forms and conditions of violence in modern India by a distinguished historian...an impressive work of historical scholarship, excellently written and thought-provoking."
