The Construction of History and Nationalism in India: Textbooks, Controversies and Politics


Sylvie Guichard
Routledge, Jun 25, 2010 - 256 pages


Most studies on nations and nationalism argue that history, or more precisely a 'common past', is crucial for the process of national identity building. However, the existence of one or more concurrent narratives for the construction of this identity is often not accounted for, and there are cases where the ‘common past’ or a ‘collective memory’ is no longer shared.

This book centres on the construction, elaboration and negotiation of the narratives that have become official history in India. These narratives influence politics and the representation of the nation. Depending on the chosen definition of the nation, over 160 million Muslim Indians are either included or excluded from the nation, and considered as ‘foreigners from inside’. The author shows that beyond the antagonism of two representations of history, two conceptions of the Indian nation – secular and Hindu nationalist – confronted each other during the history textbook controversy between 1998 and 2004. The diverging elements of the two discourses are underlined, and surprising similarities are uncovered. Yet, in contemporary India this convergence remains overshadowed in political debates as the definition of the political has been shaped by the opposition between these two visions of the nation. This book analyzes and questions the conception of the school textbook as a tool of national construction and more generally highlights the complexity of the link between historiography, nation-state and nation-building.

Penguin UK, 15-Feb-2014 - Juvenile Nonfiction - 456 pages
https://books.google.co.in/books?id=ctXEAgAAQBAJ

This book begins at the turning point at which India attains independence from the British. Following the trauma of the Partition, the focus shifts to the making of the Constitution, the integration of the 565 princely states, and the setting up of the administrative, legislative and judiciary systems.

Irfan Habib
Anthem Press, 2002 - History - 426 pages


This volume brings together, for the first time, several of Professor Habib's essays, representing three decades of scholarship and providing an insightful interpretation of the main currents in Indian history from the standpoint of Marxist historiography. The collection examines the role played by the peasantry and caste in Indian history; explores the forms of class struggle and the stage of Indian economic development in Mughal India; analyses the impact of colonialism on the Indian economy; and chronicles the changes in Marx's perception of India. These painstakingly researched and erudite essays form a volume that is indispensable for scholars and students of Indian history.

Maharana Pratap - Hindi

‌‌‌‌‌‌‌महाराणा प्रताप ( जन्म: 9 मई, 1540 ई, - मृत्यु: 29 जनवरी, 1597 ई.  शासन काल 1568-1597 ई. ) उदयपुर, मेवाड़ में सिसोदिया राजवंश के राजा थे। उन्होंने कई सालों तक मुगल सम्राट अकबर के साथ संघर्ष किया।

हल्दीघाटी युध

प्रताप और जहाँगीर का संघर्ष

हल्दीघाटी के इस प्रवेश द्वार पर अपने चुने हुए सैनिकों के साथ प्रताप शत्रु की प्रतीक्षा करने लगे। दोनों ओर की सेनाओं का सामना होते ही भीषण रूप से युद्ध शुरू हो गया और दोनों तरफ़ के शूरवीर योद्धा घायल होकर ज़मीन पर गिरने लगे। प्रताप अपने घोड़े पर सवार होकर द्रुतगति से शत्रु की सेना के भीतर पहुँच गये और उस जगह पर पहुँच गये, जहाँ पर 'सलीम' (जहाँगीर) अपने हाथी पर बैठा हुआ था। प्रताप की तलवार से सलीम के कई अंगरक्षक मारे गए और यदि प्रताप के भाले और सलीम के बीच में लोहे की मोटी चादर वाला हौदा नहीं होता तो अकबर अपने उत्तराधिकारी से हाथ धो बैठता। प्रताप के घोड़े चेतक ने अपने स्वामी की इच्छा को भाँपकर पूरा प्रयास किया और तमाम ऐतिहासिक चित्रों में सलीम के हाथी के सूँड़ पर चेतक का एक उठा हुआ पैर और प्रताप के भाले द्वारा महावत का छाती का छलनी होना अंकित किया गया है। महावत के मारे जाने पर घायल हाथी सलीम सहित युद्ध भूमि से भाग खड़ा हुआ।


इस समय युद्ध अत्यन्त भयानक हो उठा था। सलीम पर प्रताप के आक्रमण को देखकर असंख्य मुग़ल सैनिक उसी तरफ़ बढ़े और प्रताप को घेरकर चारों तरफ़ से प्रहार करने लगे। प्रताप के सिर पर मेवाड़ का राजमुकुट लगा हुआ था। इसलिए मुग़ल सैनिक उसी को निशाना बनाकर वार कर रहे थे। राजपूत सैनिक भी उसे बचाने के लिए प्राण हथेली पर रखकर संघर्ष कर रहे थे। परन्तु धीरे-धीरे प्रताप संकट में फँसता जा रहे थे। स्थिति की गम्भीरता को परखकर 'झाला सरदार' ने स्वामिभक्ति का एक अपूर्व आदर्श प्रस्तुत करते हुए अपने प्राणों का बलिदान कर दिया। झाला सरदार 'मन्नाजी' तेज़ी के साथ आगे बढ़ा और प्रताप के सिर से मुकुट उतार कर अपने सिर पर रख लिया और तेज़ी के साथ कुछ दूरी पर जाकर घमासान युद्ध करने लगा। मुग़ल सैनिक उसे ही प्रताप समझकर उस पर टूट पड़े और प्रताप को युद्ध भूमि से दूर निकल जाने का अवसर मिल गया। उसका सारा शरीर अगणित घावों से लहूलुहान हो चुका था। युद्धभूमि से जाते-जाते प्रताप ने मन्नाजी को मरते देखा। राजपूतों ने बहादुरी के साथ मुग़लों का मुक़ाबला किया, परन्तु मैदानी तोपों तथा बन्दूकधारियों से सुसज्जित शत्रु की विशाल सेना के सामने समूचा पराक्रम निष्फल रहा। युद्धभूमि पर उपस्थित बाईस हज़ार राजपूत सैनिकों में से केवल आठ हज़ार जीवित सैनिक युद्धभूमि से किसी प्रकार बचकर निकल पाये।

Maharana Pratap - Biography

Birthday - 9 May 1540

Maharana Pratap (May 9, 1540 – January 19, 1597) was a Hindu Rajput ruler of Mewar, a region in north-western India in the present day state of Rajasthan. He belonged to the Sisodiya sect of Rajputs

Rana Pratap is considered to exemplify the qualities like bravery and chivalry to which Rajputs aspire, in  his opposition to the Mughal emperor Akbar. The struggle between Rajputs led by Rana Pratap , and the Mughal Empire under Akbar, has often been characterised as a struggle between Hindus and the invading Muslims, much on the same lines as the struggles of Guru Gobind Singh,  Chhatrapati Shivaji and Chhatrasal Bundela.

Rana Pratap was defeated in Battle of Haldighati but he escaped into the hills and successfully recovered his territories except Chittorgarh and ruled them till his death without accepting the authority of Akbar.
