This important new book will interest historians, anthropologists, sociologists, political scientists and all students of the comples relationships between Hinduism, Islam, and the Indian state. Reassessing conventional South Asian historiography from a subaltern prespective the book examins how conceptions of history and memory clash. This pioneering study, based on a decade of intensive research, explores the Meo community through their oral tradition, revealing sophisticated modes of collective memory and self governance. The book reavels the remarkable complexity and resilience of a transgressive culture that has survived on the margins of Hinduism and Islam.
