CENTRE DE SCIENCES HUMAINES (CSH)
India
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 10 พ.ค. 2021
The Centre de Sciences Humaines (CSH) (CSH, UMIFRE n°20) is part of a network of research units of the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the French Ministry of European and Foreign Affairs (MEAE).
The CSH is a multidisciplinary research unit that covers all disciplines of the social sciences and humanities. The centre originates in 1980 when the French Archaeological Delegation in Afghanistan moved from Kabul to Delhi, following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The CSH itself was officially created in 1990. It initially conducted research on the history and Indo-Persian culture. In 1995, the CSH became a centre more largely devoted to the study of contemporary social and economic dynamics in India and South Asia. In 2007, it was put under the joint management of CNRS and MEAE and became a UMIFRE integrated with the USR n°3330 with IFP.

Laurence Gautier- Between Nation and ‘Community’- 3 June 2024
Between Nation and Community examines the political role of Muslim universities (AMU and Jamia Millia) in post-independence India. The book argues that these institutions constituted platforms to imagine the nation as much as the Muslim qaum. They served as intermediaries between central state authorities and the Muslim population, and formed major centres for different strands of Muslim politics in the post-independence period. By closely looking at the relation between these institutions and state authorities, the book teases out the ambiguities of the state’s Muslim policy. It also examines, in turn, how university members responded to this policy and developed competing conceptions of Muslim identity and citizenship, which structured the wider public debates on Muslims’ status in post-partition India.

Veena Naregal - Monolingual States in a Polyglot Setting? - 4 march 2024

The indexing of linguistic difference as a territorial category in India, within a polyglot polity characterized by immense linguistic diversity, is peculiarly striking. Significantly, such direct identification between the region and ‘its’ linguistic identity to create linguistic units firstly in 1920 within the Congress structure, and eventually in the 1950s as part of the federal structure o...

In contemporary India, communities and individuals continue to interpret the past in a variety of ways for multiple purposes that have real political consequences.

What happened in Mughal India in the quarter century after Akbar’s death? Nothing that really mattered - according to received wisdom. Through a complete re-examination of the reign of the fourth Mughal emperor Jahangir, this book upends that traditional view. Rather than provide a linear history of this relatively neglected monarch, Lefèvre analyses a wide range of imperial and non-imperial te...

Amazing work! Would love to hear more on this front. Wealth inequality in India can only be addressed through a multi dimensional study like this and not just the usual economic theory. If you need a computer scientist for your work then let me know and we can share details with each other.
