A Magnificent Gift: Muslim Nationalism and the Election Process in Colonial Punjab

In 1940, Muhammad ‘Ali Jinnah, the leader of the Muslim League, first suggested that the Muslims of India were not simply a religious community but a nation. But it was only after the triumph of the Muslim League in winning the overwhelming majority of Muslim seats in the 1946 Indian provincial elections, particularly in the two largest Muslim-majority provinces, Bengal and Punjab, that Jinnah could argue convincingly to others that he, and the Muslim League, represented the voice of that nation. In critical ways, the elections of 1946 thus laid the foundations for the emergence of Pakistan. For a good discussion of the 1946 elections in the Punjab, see I. A. Talbot, “The 1946 Punjab Elections,” Modern Asian Studies, 14:1 (1980), 65–91. A state predicated on the existence of a Muslim nation, Pakistan occupies a position of unusual importance in the history of the Muslim world and of colonial nationalism, for it represents the first post-colonial nation created on the basis of a self-consciously Muslim nationalist program.

The Idea of Indigenous People

Malgre les nombreux changements de la pratique anthropologique depuis une cinquantaine d'annees, notamment une amplitude des objets de recherche, les societes dites traditionnelles, primitives, orales, simples font toujours l'objet de l'interet privilegie des ethnologues. Si la terminologie utilisee pour designer ces societes a ete modifiee au cours du temps (afin de s'eloigner, entre autres, des theories evolutionnistes), les definitions restent encore imprecises, en particulier celle de tribu. L'expression peuple autochtone, utilisee depuis peu, laisse apparaitre une idee de morale et d'ethique mais ne peut s'appliquer qu'a des contextes particuliers, a l'instar de la notion de tribu, et peut alimenter des ideologies diverses qui pronent les liens du sang et de la terre et pour lesquelles les ethnologues ne mesurent peut-etre pas les utuilisations ambivalentes.

Liberal Civic Education and Religious Fundamentalism: The Case of God v. John Rawls?

Nowadays it often appears that liberals have been outflanked on the issue of diversity. Political activists and theorists increasingly insist that greater weight be given to what distinguishes particular groups from others. Those who clamor for a "politics of difference" are as likely to be attacking as seeking to extend liberal values and practices. Iris Marion Young, for example, wants a politics that "attends to rather than represses difference," in which no group "is stereotyped, silenced, or marginalized."' She dismisses the ideal of impartiality and such notions as moral universality, human nature, essentialism, and various other pre-postmodern sins and vices, because all deny the basic significance of group-based differences: "Groups cannot be socially equal unless their specific experience, culture, and social contributions are publicly affirmed and recognized."2 Young rejects "melting pot ideals of assimilation and unity," not surprisingly, arguing that the "desire for political unity will suppress difference, and tend to exclude some voices and perspectives from the public."3 She advocates "bilingual-

Civic Education and Social Diversity

How can civic education in a liberal democracy give social diversity its due? Two complementary concerns have informed a lot of liberal thinking on this subject. Liberals like John Stuart Mill worry that "the plea of liberty" by parents not block "the fulfillment by the State of its duties" to children. They also worry that civic education not be conceived or conducted in such a way as to stifle "diversity in opinions and modes of conduct."' Some prominent contemporary theorists add a new and interesting twist to these common--concerns. They criticize liberals like Mill and Kant for contributing to one of the central problems, the stifling of social diversity, that they are trying to resolve.2 The comprehensive liberal aim of educating children not only for citizenship but also for individuality or autonomy, these political liberals argue, does not leave enough room for social diversity. Would a civic educational program consistent with political liberalism accommodate significantly more social diversity than one guided by comprehensive liberalism?3 Political liberals claim that it would, and some recommend political liberalism to us largely on this basis. This article shows that political liberalism need not, and often does not, accommodate more social diversity through its civic educational program than comprehensive liberalism. Section I examines the defining difference between political and comprehensive liberalism and suggests why we might expect to find a significant difference in the accommodation of social diversity by political and comprehensive liberalism through civic education.

Defining Difference: The "Scientific" Construction of Sexuality and Gender in the People's Republic of China

Many academics and journalists hold that China has experienced a period of sexual liberation in recent years. Sex has come out of the shadows to gain unprecedented public prominence. Images of and information about sex are omnipresent. In light of this newfound commercialization of female sexuality in China in pornography and prostitution and publicity about sexual violence against women women have begun writing on issues of sexuality and gender in ways which suggest increasing interest in sexual autonomy. The author analyzes the meanings of sexuality in texts which consider it to be a natural biological phenomenon then examines the implications of those for the representation of womens sexual and gender attributes. Focus is given to discourse upon sexuality in the effort to identify a specific but important construction of womanhood which informed and continues to inform a range of official and popular discourses in China. Sections consider the 1950s official discourse on sexuality in historical and political context sex and reproduction sexual difference the dangers of male sexual excess sexual hygiene in menstruation and pregnancy and recent representations in perspective.

Implementing Political Reform in China's Villages

Why has it been exceedingly difficult to restructure China's village-level, political institutions? Over and above hurdles arising from belated leadership support and bureaucratic squabbling, implementation of The Organic Law of Villagers' Committees has depended on how villagers and local cadres perceive their interests and understand their resources. Although the Law does not generate a single pattern of concerted, localist opposition, aspects of it alienate one or another affected party almost everywhere. Outside the singularly favorable conditions found in not poor, "up-to-standard" villages with a strong collective sector, cadre resistance and villager skepticism have been considerable. In many paralyzed, authoritarian, and "run-away" localities, balancing demands to increase state penetration and popular participation have impinged on the interests of both cadres and villagers and simultaneous acceptance of both key aims of the Law has proven to be difficult to secure.

Prospects for Civil Society in China: A Case Study of Xiaoshan City

'Civil society', 'the market' and 'democracy' are the conceptual 'good guys' that dominate current Western thinking about China's present and future in the social, economic and political realms respectively. Though these ideas are often used in imprecise and tendentious ways, they have considerable analytical and practical power; they reflect real processes and point toward real solutions. This paper sets out to examine how useful the notion of 'civil society' is in describing and explaining social change in contemporary Chinese society. I shall proceed, flrst, by clarifying the specific way in which I intend to use the term 'civil society' and, second, by investigating the empirical utility of the idea through a case-study of one Chinese city.

Civil Ritual in India

The first five papers in this issue of Modern Asian Studies were originally written for a panel that came together at the 40th meeting of the Association for Asian Studies in San Francisco, in March of 1988, to discuss ‘Civil Ritual in India: British and Indian Modes of Symbolic Representation.’

The "Slametan": Textual Knowledge and Ritual Performance in Central Javanese Islam

Le " slametan " est un repas rituel ou l'on recite des prieres en arabe et ou l'on offre de la nourriture au Prophete, aux saints et aux ancetres pour obtenir leur benediction. Interpretation de ce rituel en contraste avec celle de C. Geertz, " The Religion of Java " (1960)

A Review of South Asian Studies

In 1986 the International Activities Committee of the Economic and Social Research Council decided to undertake reviews of progress in ‘area studies’, and to do this by means of small, inter-disciplinary conferences. A review conference on South Asian studies was held in Cambridge, and attended by forty-one scholars from different disciplines and from India, France, Holland and the USA as well as from Britain. The purpose of the review was understood to be a ‘stock-taking’ in different fields of research, intended to identify conceptual, theoretical and substantive issues at the frontiers of enquiry; and to examine the implications and contributions of research on South Asia for historical research and for the social sciences in general. In the pursuit of these objectives the conference had three components. First came sessions in which two economists (Toye and Chaudhuri), two historians (Tomlinson and Washbrook), an anthropologist (Fuller) and a sociologist (Hawthorn) presented views of ‘progress and problems’ in their fields. Then came two pairs of concurrent working groups on broad themes, drawing partly on the earlier papers and discussions; and finally three panelists (Bharadwaj, Breman and Lipton) offered commentary on the proceedings. The review papers by Toye, Tomlinson and Washbrook appear in this issue of Modern Asian Studies. What follows here is a commentary on some of the themes that emerged in the papers and discussions.

The Institute of Pacific Relations and the Origins of Asian and Pacific Studies

W ESTERN, PARTICULARLY NORTH AMERICAN, SCHOLARS of Asia and the Pacific work amidst an abundance of materials, research programs, funding sources and the other features characteristic of major academic endeavors. Most have never known other circumstances. Given the relative sufficiency of their surroundings, many of these scholars-especially those trained since mid-century-may be unaware that the academic structure they depend upon dates back only five or six decades and was developed by a pioneering generation of scholars who, although diminished in number, are still present and peripherally active. As recently as the late 1920s, there were no mechanisms for the systematic study of either Asia or the Pacificno graduate programs, no research centers, no professional associations, no regular conferences, and no substantial library collections. Indeed, aside from the early efforts of a few like George H. Blakeslee, Stanley K. Hornbeck, and Kenneth S. Latourette, there were not even elementary courses offered through organized departments. A good number of these scholars may also be unaware that the Institute of Pacific Relations, an organization prominent from the late 1920s to the mid 1950s but now largely unknown except to older scholars, is almost solely responsible for changing these conditions. Through an extensive series of conferences on Asian and Pacific issues and a highly productive collaborative research program focused upon related topics, it laid the foundation for modern Asian and Pacific studies in the West. The Institute's achievements in research are especially significant. The classic studies of Asia and the Pacific during the 1930s, 1940s and early 1950s-works such as J. Lossing Buck's Land Utilization in China, George McT. Kahin's Nationalism and Revolution in Indonesia, Felix M. Keesing's Modern Samoa, Owen Lattimore's Inner Asian Frontiers of China, E. Herbert Norman's Japan's Emergence as a Modern State, Richard H. Tawney's Land and Labour in China, and Teng Ssu-yu and John King Fairbank's China's Reponse to the West-as well as many hundreds of lesser known titles were produced under its aegis.1 Perhaps no other organ-

Footnotes * This survey has been supported in part by the Joint Committee on Chinese Studies of the ACLS and SSRC, in preparation for a conference on Chinese Genealogical Demography, Asilomar, January 8-11, 1986. I would like to thank Stevan Harrell and James Lee for comments and encouragement in the course of completing this survey. Special acknowledgement is in order for G. William Skinner for helpful comments and for detailed information on his macroregional systems which made possible the inclusion of several tables giving breakdowns for macroregions for core/periphery status. 1. Maurice Freedman and others have made distinctions between clans and lineages on the basis of the nature of claims to common ancestry, celebration of ritual unity, group ability to take collective action on certain occasions, and ownership of some corporate property. (Freedman, 1966:20-22, also Watson, 1982:589-622). It is not clear in many cases whether the families, patrilines or branches that produced the type of handwritten record I have called a "branch genealogy" had any corporate property or not (some probably did and others not). Terminology used in the titles of various types of genealogies is not uniform and rarely gives an accurate indication whether it is a branch, lineage or clan genealogy. The titles of all three types can employ any one of the three terms without regard to geographic coverage or generational depth. Related branches (sublineages, patrilines, or localized lineages, or higher-order lineages amalgamating themselves into "clans" evidently did so through the same general process: first, by identifying a suitable progenitor and then patching together the various branches and/or lineages to form a more widely dispersed common descent group. The genealogies produced by these amalgamations could use any one of these three terms to describe the new group in the title of the genealogy. The heavily edited clan genealogy, Ouyang liuzong tongpu, 1934, used the term zong. However, many recently published Taiwan genealogies using jia or zu...
