In this lecture Prof. Vinayak Chaturvedi will examine approaches to historical methodology, the aesthetics of history writing, and the politics of history at the center of Hindutva and Violence: V.D. Savarkar and the Politics of History (Permanent Black and SUNY Press, 2002). He will further explore Savarkar’s central claim that “Hindutva is not a word but a history” to demonstrate that he developed a conceptualization of history as a way into the meaning of Hindutva. For Savarkar, the purpose of this history was to trace key historical events to a powerful source—the font of motivation for historical actors who had turned to violence in a permanent war for Hindutva as the founding principle of a Hindu nation. He will discuss key texts in Savarkar’s oeuvre to explain that all critiques of Hindutva require grappling with his idea of history. Vinayak Chaturvedi is Professor of History at the University of California, Irvine. He is the author of Peasant Pasts: History and Memory in Western India (2007) and the editor of Mapping Subaltern Studies and the Postcolonial (2000) and The Pandemic: Perspectives on Asia (2020). He studied at the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Cambridge.

The Sufi’s Nightingale is a fictionalized retelling of the life of the sixteenthcentury mystic and poet of Punjab, Shah Hussain, who was a malamati—a Sufi who actively debased himself, choosing a lifestyle that would earn him rejection and abuse, as a means of conquering his ego. Over time, the very identities of Hussain and Madho merged, and today the great Sufi is known as Madho Lal Hussain. Hussain and Madho lie in the same mausoleum outside Lahore, which is the site of the annual Mela Chiragan during which thousands gather to revel in song, dance and worship.

Dr. Kavita Singh (1964-2023) was one of the most remarkable and influential art historians of our times. Kavita was associated with the School of Arts and Aesthetics (SAA) at JNU, where she taught since it was founded in 2001 uptil few months back. At SAA, she taught courses on the history of Indian painting and the history and politics of museums in South Asia.

In 2018, Kavita was awarded the Infosys Prize in Humanities for her extraordinary study of Mughal, Rajput and Deccan Art as well as her insightful writings on the functions and roles of museums. The news of her passing came as a sudden shock. The loss of a friend, erudite scholar, fighter and activist Dr. Kavita Singh is a personal loss to a lot of us. We will always remember her generosity, and kindness and that contagious smile of Dr. Kavita Singh. Her grace, knowledge, humility, and brilliance was unmatched. We have lost one of the best and true scholars. No words can justify what Kavita meant to us as a mentor, friend and as a scholar. Adieu Kavita, you will be dearly missed.
