DESCRIPTION:Histories of politics in India frequently distinguish between 
 the domains of elite and of popular or subaltern politics. The latter is t
 ypically expressed in the idiom of the fragment and identified with the pa
 rticular rather than with the universal. This talk engages with the popula
 r politics of the anti-indenture movement in India to raise the following 
 questions: what happens when popular politics makes a claim to the univers
 al? What does such an “impossible” politics suggest about the nature o
 f the political itself?
