Abstract
Subaltern Studies provided a powerful and innovative revision of the historiography of colonial India through a fusion of history and anthropology. Yet sustained evaluation of their interdisciplinarity, its intellectual bases and programmatic accomplishments is something that has been largely neglected in the numerous scholarly reviews of the collective. This essay traces the shifts in Subaltern Studies' methods, assumptions and propositions to identify the problems and possibilities of anthropological history when this mode of analysis is applied to questions of colonialism, resistance and power. The earlier volumes are discussed in detail and then, in conclusion, juxtaposed briefly with the latest trends in Subaltern Studies.

Forests in India are at the center of highly charged conflicts. Use of the past by the different historical subjects engaged in these contests over forest lands in India results in several threads intertwined across a shared frame. I shall try to unravel only one strand in this essay, namely, the official ideologies implicated in colonial forestry and the technologies of power that it spawned. I will show how the colonial state, drawing on several pasts, constructed the question of forests in India.

This study traces the evolution of urban and metropolitan governance in India and examines the key aspects related to urban dynamics, including urban and regional planning, economic competitiveness, infrastructure and land management, environmental sustainability, as well as the challenges in resource mobilisation and metropolitan governance.

"Both before and after the 2011 "Triple Disaster" of earthquake, tidal wave, and consequent meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, anthropologist Satsuki Takahashi visited nearby communities, collecting accounts of life and livelihoods along the industrialized seascape. The resulting environmental ethnography examines the complex relationship between commercial fishing families and the Joban Sea-once known for premium-quality fish and now notorious as the location of the world's worst nuclear catastrophe. Fukushima Futures follows postwar Japan's maritime modernization from the perspectives of those most entangled with its successes and failures. In response to unrelenting setbacks, including an earlier nuclear accident at neighboring Tokaimura and the oil spills of stranded tankers during typhoons, these communities have developed survival strategies shaped by the precarity they share with their marine ecosystem. The collaborative resilience that emerges against this backdrop of vulnerability and uncertainty challenges the progress-bound logic of futurism, bringing more hopeful possibilities for the future into sharper focus"--
