Hello netizens!
A very warm welcome to my new blog, Indus View! As the title indicates, this blog deals with
all things South Asian, particularly those related to politics, popular culture, history, literature, food, fashion, music, cinema and citizenship.
Join the discussion at Indus View and send in your thoughts on how what happens around the world impacts South Asia and importantly, vice-versa.
Indus View offers a deep-focus view of India and its unfolding histories. At the same time, it is also meant to be a place where everyone can pool in their views about South Asia, what the larger region is going through, its extraordinary antecedents and its seeming futures. In all this, I'll be posting my own pearls of wisdom regularly as well! Look forward very much to a series of vivid and furiously thought-provoking encounters!
Best wishes from Indus View ("Jump in, the water's lovely!"),
Srijana.
About Me
- Srijana
- I am a social anthropologist at Cambridge University, U.K. I've recently completed my PhD at Cambridge. This explores Indian economic liberalisation, militant Hindutva and caste politics through the prism of popular Bombay cinema and the development of what I term 'cinematic Punjabiyat'. These areas, along with larger South Asian history, development and politics, remain a matter of intense fascination for me. Working on the book now as well as on creating spaces for meaningful public commentary and analyses of current affairs.
