Title Rhetoric and Ritual in Colonial India: The Shaping of a Public Culture in Surat City, 18521928
After the country returns to normal, Pibul comes out on top, and Pridi loses
Ahmad links class developments to broad patterns of economic change to show that, far from any single communal interest, it is the interests of powerful groups, interests potentially at odds with those of co-religionists, that are at stake
Summary
Title Rhetoric and Ritual in Colonial India: The Shaping of a Public Culture in Surat City, 18521928. Ahmad's approach has two valuable characteristics: first, to show identities as historically constituted in interaction with social, economic, and political contexts; and second, to show the critical importance of placing those contexts in a larger geographical setting than the boundaries of the nation-states that so often define our histories.
