Abstract:
Exploring these paradoxes, this paper traces the category of ‘region’ as a territorial entity around language as it emerged through official documents, constitutional debates, education policy debates and responses by Marathi regional elites in the period between the Bengal Partition (1905) and the early independence period. The paper also dwells upon the tensions between the dual logics of linguistic territorialization and simultaneous leveraging of development agendas in the decades between the 1920s and 1950s.
