Speaker examines ‘Mother India'

May 11, 2010

Sujin Lim / The Dartmouth Staff Sujin Lim / The Dartmouth Staff Popular artists in 19th century India incorporated the image of "Mother India" a unifying embodiment and symbol of the Indian nation in their work, enabling patriotic mobilization and a collective identity, Sumathi Ramaswamy, a history professor at Duke University, said in a Tuesday lecture as part of the Rudelson lecture series. The Hindu goddess has remained a symbol of nationalism in India even as the country "strives to be secular, diverse and modern," according to Ramaswamy. The maternal and geographical aspects of popular artwork featuring Mother India holding a nationalist flag fostered a visual collective identity for Indian patriots under British colonial rule, according to Ramaswamy.
