"Indian cricket mobilised a large and diverse popular following in the twentieth century. What was so special about cricket and why was it so important to a large number of people? In this book, the author tells the story of this banal humanity that historians tend to forget. Why do postcolonial Indians identify with the colonial game the way they do? Is the engagement with English culture a mechanism for empowering and modernising themselves? What does cricket tell us about the making of a public culture? Cricket, Public Culture and the Making of Postcolonial Calcutta uncovers the various modes through which the Indian public have been moulded as followers of cricket and examines the emergence of a postcolonial society through its lens. Through thematic explorations of cricket's significance for the people of Calcutta, the book discusses the making of public culture in a postcolonial city. The six chapters survey long-term social, cultural and political processes through which cricket became an accessory to emerging identities and ideologies. By closely examining these processes the author analyses the discourses of postcolonialism, collective history and space-making in an urban context. The followers and critics of cricket in Calcutta are the protagonists in this book. A study of their entanglement offers two important insights into the making of postcolonial society. First, it enables us to understand how people attach symbolic values to cultural forms to reimagine and reinvent themselves. Second, it enhances the analytical value of cricket as a cultural tool that empowered, modernised and gave new meanings to its community"--

Calcutta, the centre of British imperial power in India, figures in scholarship as the locus of colonialism and the hotbed of anti-colonial nationalist movements. Yet, historians have largely ignored how the city shaped these movements. A Hygienic City-Nation is the first academic work that examines everyday urban formations in the colonial city that informed the broad global forces of imperialism, nationalism, and urbanism, and were, in turn, shaped by them. Drawing on previously unexplored archives of the Calcutta Improvement Trust and neighbourhood clubs, the author uncovers hidden stories of the city at the everyday level of neighbourhoods or paras, where kinship-like ties, caste, religion, and ethnicity constituted new urban modernity. Ghosh focuses on an emergent discourse on Hindu spatial hygiene that powered nationalist pedagogic efforts to train city dwellers in conduct fit for the city-nation. In such pedagogic efforts, upper-caste Bengalis were pitted against the lower-caste working poor and featured as ideal inhabitants of the city: the citizen.

Colonising, Decolonising, and Globalising Kolkata' offers an extended analysis of the architecture of Kolkata from the earliest days of colonialism through independence and on into the twenty-first century, all set in the larger context of Indian cities and architecture. What Siddhartha Sen shows is the transformation of a colonial city into a Marxist one-and ongoing attempts to further transform it into a global city. Richly illustrated, the book carefully situates architecture, design, and urban planning within Kolkata's political economy and social milieu.
