Negotiating Languages Urdu, Hindi, and the Definition of Modern South Asia WALTER N. HAKALA
SOUTH ASIA ACROSS THE DISCIPLINES
Hardcover with dustjacket
2016
Columbia University Press
Prior to the nineteenth century, South Asian dictionaries, glossaries, and vocabularies reflected a hierarchical vision of nature and human society. By the turn of the twentieth century, the modern dictionary had democratized and politicized language. Compiled "scientifically" through "historical principles," the modern dictionary became a concrete symbol of a nation's arrival on the world stage.
Following this phenomenon from the late seventeenth century to the present, Negotiating Languages casts lexicographers as key figures in the political realignment of South Asia under British rule and in the years after independence. Their dictionaries document how a single, mutually intelligible language evolved into two competing registers—Urdu and Hindi—and became associated with contrasting religious and nationalist goals. Each chapter in this volume focuses on a key lexicographical work and its fateful political consequences. Recovering texts by overlooked and even denigrated authors, Negotiating Languages provides insight into the forces that turned intimate speech into a potent nationalist politics, intensifying the passions that partitioned the Indian subcontinent.
Walter Hakala is associate professor of South Asian languages and literature at the University at Buffalo, SUNY. His work has been published in the Indian Economic and Social History Review, Eighteenth Century Studies, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, and Modern Asian Studies. He was born in New Delhi, India and spent his childhood in India, Pakistan, and Morocco before settling in the United States.
