Majoritarian Reasoning: Identities, Exclusion and Critique examines the complex relationship between majoritarianism and nationalism in nation-building across the Indian subcontinent. The authors analyse historical patterns of identity formation and investigate connections between majority dominance and national identity, exploring how these dynamics continue to shape contemporary South Asian politics and society.Taking a comprehensive long-term view, the book traces the emergence and evolution of majoritarian politics throughout South Asia through diverse case studies, analysis of key thinkers, and previously unexplored historical accounts. Its multidisciplinary approach combines different historical methodologies with rigorous analytical frameworks to address critical questions about the relationship between majority identity and nationalism. The volume examines how historical patterns influence modern political formations and community relations along religious and ethnic lines, investigating the origins of nationhood and the connections between majoritarian impulses and nationalist expressions in South Asia's complex political evolution.This book serves scholars across South Asian politics and society, postcolonial studies, democracy studies, religious studies, area studies, and Global South studies, bridging disciplinary boundaries to provide insights into identity politics in contemporary South Asian societies and comparative perspectives on global political trends.

This book contains selected papers presented at the international conference titled 'In Search of Creative Commons: Crisis, Catastrophe, and Responsive Literature in India', held at the Abid Ali Khan Centre for Digital Archive and Translation of Cultures, Gour Mahavidyalaya (College) from 31 August to 2 September, 2023 in collaboration with the Department of English, Dr. Meghnad Saha College. The conference was funded by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR).In this book, three basic questions are considered. First, as humans try to live in-and-through catastrophes and exceptional situations in the contemporary world, what new perspective can literature as a creative form offer for healing and restorative purposes? Second, what new idioms and narrative styles, massive crises such as famine, partition, migration, the decimation of forests, rivers, and the disappearance of villages held up in creative articulations in colonial and postcolonial times in India? Can these representations be called “responsive literature”? Further, and this is the third major contention of this book, how can responsive literature be thought of as a conceptual category? What new transdisciplinary optic should be adopted to go beyond the limits of the “literary” and eventually include the “non-literary”?The objective of these discussions was to contribute to the larger discursive literature on disaster studies, which we believe has been excessively hegemonized by concepts from the West. By bringing in indigenous ideas from Bhasa Sahitya (language and literature), the images of samaj (society), samata (equity), and ahimsa (non-violence), the existing literature on catastrophe and crisis studies can finally be decolonized.
