[Q/A] The Marathas And The Origin Of Indian National Consciousness | Smita Mukerji | Hindavi Swaraj

It has often been suggested that Indian nationhood came into existence with the unification of its landmass under colonial rule. This commonplace claim begs a vital question: what constitutes nationhood? Is our national consciousness as inchoate as being forged through external impulses? And if not, what is really our idea about ourselves?
As a keen lifelong student and writer of history Smita Mukerji attempts to answer this question in this Srijan Talk, since this is also the most important function of history. As a frame of reference she has selected the rise and course of the Maratha Empire, as this was the strongest bid of native Indians to assert themselves against a foreign culture. How the Marathas defined their struggle is central to this question of who we are.
About Speaker: -
Born in a ‘probashi’ Bengali family based mostly in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, and daughter of a defence officer, Smita Mukerji has from the earliest years soaked in the cultures and flavours of different regions of India. This imbibed in her a sense of oneness and a deep attachment and reverence for all the constituent elements of India, in particular its history. She went on to study history in university and though she got sidetracked to other fields professionally, history has been her abiding love.
By profession, she is a management executive and a language professional. She has two wonderful children on the threshold of adulthood who share her the passion for history and love of the motherland. Her writings can be read at: Hritambhara.com
