Uncover the pivotal role of Grierson’s Linguistic Survey of India in shaping regional languages and national identity. This book provides the first detailed examination, revealing how the Survey’s focus on India as a linguistic region challenged colonial perspectives. Discover its collaboration with Indian activists and how its findings were repurposed by nationalists, becoming potent symbols of language conflict and religious nationalism in 20th-century India. Essential for scholars of linguistics, history, cultural studies, and South Asian studies, this work illuminates the complex evolution of Indian languages and nationhood.
