This is a comprehensive history of South Asian humanitarian aid in the context of armed conflicts in the colonial period. Adopting an international and transnational approach, the book focuses on relief initiatives from the First World War to the Second World War and the early post-war years. Through five case studies, this book offers new insights into the history of volunteer societies and non-state organisations in British India. It enhances readers' understanding of late colonial public and political activism on the Indian subcontinent. The book makes a significant contribution to the global history of humanitarianism, offering a nuanced understanding of the subject. This is achieved through an in-depth, context-sensitive exploration of relief work in a non-Western setting, focusing on the significance of Indian actors for the development of a transnational civil society.This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

This book examines women's political and social participation across colonial and postcolonial contexts, showing how gendered activism has both shaped and been shaped by shifting political, cultural, and ideological currents. The volume interrogates how women's political and social labour is rendered invisible or obscured in archives, movements, and media. Bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives from history, politics, anthropology, and gender and subaltern studies, its chapters trace women's roles in anti-colonial, revolutionary, feminist, Dalit, indigenous, and right-wing campaigns.By exploring continuities and ruptures in the (in)visibilisation of women's agency, the collection offers a critical intervention into debates on representation, power, and historiography in South Asia. It will be of interest to scholars and researchers of gender studies, political science, modern history, legal history, social policy, and sociology.
