Abstract
China and India, the two Emerging powers, pride themselves in their history of anti-colonial struggles and anti-imperialist politics. The lecture will analyse various contestations over spaces, peoples, and narratives in China and India, with special focus on Xinjiang, Tibet and Kashmir, and argue for a more complex understanding of politics of nationalism and postcoloniality.
