Product Description
In early twentieth century British India, prior to the arrival of digital medias and after the rise of nationalist political movements, a small-town paper from the margins of society became a key player in Urdu journalism. Published in the isolated market town of Bijnor, Madinah grew to hold influence across North India and the Punjab while navigating complex issues of religious and political identity.
In
Print and the Urdu Public
, Megan Robb uses the previously unexamined perspective of the
Madinah
to consider Urdu print publics and urban life in South Asia. Through a discursive and material analysis of
Madinah
, the book explores how Muslims who had settled in ancestral
qasbahs
, or small towns, used newspapers to facilitate a new public consciousness. The book demonstrates how
Madinah
connected the Urdu newspaper conversation both explicitly and implicitly with Muslim identity and delineated the boundaries of a Muslim public conversation in a way that emphasized rootedness to local politics and small urban spaces. The case study of this influential but understudied newspaper reveals how a network of journalists with substantial ties to qasbahs produced a discourse self-consciously alternative to the Western-influenced, secularized cities. Megan Robb augments the analysis with evidence from contemporary Urdu, English, and Hindi papers, government records, private diaries, private library holdings, ethnographic interviews, and training materials for newspaper printers. This thoroughly researched volume recovers the erasure of
qasbah
voices and proclaims the importance of space and time in definitions of the public sphere in South Asia.
Print and the Urdu Public
demonstrates how an Urdu newspaper published from the margins became central to the Muslim public constituted in the first half of the twentieth century.
