In her study of Urdu language politics in late colonial India, Kavita Saraswathi Datla traces the rise and eventual demise of an alternative Urdu movement that envisioned the language not as a marker of Muslim religious identity, but as a means to articulate a modern secular nationalism with roots in India’s Islamic past.	cache/ajiss-960.pdf	txt/ajiss-960.txt
