Discover the vibrant intellectual heart of colonial India in “Provincial Metropolis: Intellectuals and the Hinterland in Colonial India.” This compelling book delves into the late 19th and early 20th centuries, revealing how Patna, often overlooked as provincial hinterland, fostered a dynamic, cosmopolitan intellectual culture. Explore the enduring legacy of Urdu literary gatherings and Islamicate traditions that fueled satirical newspapers and scholarly libraries. Through meticulous archival research in Urdu, Hindi, and English, this study argues that Patna’s cultural life flourished precisely because of, not in spite of, its provincial setting. A must-read for those interested in Indian history, colonial studies, and the intellectual life of the subcontinent. Available now at The Bookish Owl.
