Uncover the intricate history of state violence and punishment in India, from colonial impositions to postcolonial reinterpretations. This study delves into how Indians imbued state coercion and punishment practices with their own meanings, examining key events like the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and Quit India movement. It revisits the state’s role, challenging notions of absolute power and revealing its vulnerabilities. Essential for students and scholars of South Asian studies, Indian history, and decolonisation, this work provides a vital, nuanced framework for understanding 20th-century India and the legacy of empire.
