Her Sainted Aunt', about an aunt teaching her niece the ropes of lfe, leaves us to choose the more surprising between the racy conversation and the unnamed narrator. 'The Subjugated' is about choices made by a rich woman and her maid and their lives. 'Demon in the darkness' is the story of a lonely man on a dark night facing the fear of paranormal. 'Ponts of View' is about two men with each considering the other to be the luckier one and wishing to have what the other has. 'When he became his wife' is the comical turn of events for a newly married couple when the husband has to play the role of being a woman. 'Behind the curtain' is about how our understanding of history can change if there are new and impartial participants. Of these stories, some might make you smile and some might make you sigh at the turn of events. They are based on the premise that each of us have innumerable experiences but remember only a few and acknowledge fewer still. But no experience is insignificant. What is mundane to one person can be paramount and life changing to another.
Police Matters moves beyond the city to examine the intertwined nature of police and caste in the Tamil countryside. Radha Kumar argues that the colonial police deployed rigid notions of caste in their everyday tasks, refashioning rural identities in a process that has cast long postcolonial shadows. Kumar draws on previously unexplored police archives to enter the dusty streets and market squares where local constables walked, following their gaze and observing their actions towards potential subversives. Station records present a textured view of ordinary interactions between police and society, showing that state coercion was not only exceptional and spectacular; it was also subtle and continuous, woven into everyday life. The colonial police categorized Indian subjects based on caste to ensure the security of agriculture and trade, and thus the smooth running of the economy. Among policemen and among the objects of their coercive gaze, caste became a particularly salient form of identity in the politics of public spaces. Police Matters demonstrates that, without doubt, modern caste politics have both been shaped by, and shaped, state policing. Thanks to generous funding from the Andrew W.
