Review # 1 was written on 2020-11-03 00:00:00 Michael Norton This is an okay book but "Modern South Asia" turned out to be just India and Pakistan with some mention of Bangladesh. It's wild because the introduction takes time out to briefly talk about the construction of South Asia and actual plurality of countries which occupy that region but then dismisses groundwork by saying (no joke), we're just going to talk about India and Pakistan. It makes me wonder if we keep (and we must) with the very obvious reality of these distinct countries, could there ever be a comprehensive history of South Asia without the danger collapsing into monolith or the overshadowing of a singular narrative?

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-30 00:00:00 Jefree Galbraith An excellent intro to South Asian historiography. The aspect of it that I found particularly useful was that Jalal and Bose were not coy about naming the names of historians whose work they found subpar and detailing the reasons why.
