The New Brahmans: Five Maharashtrian Families offers an illuminating exploration of the societal transformations in Maharashtra during a pivotal era in Indian history. This book examines the complex interplay of tradition and modernity through the lives of five Brahman families, shedding light on their adaptation to sweeping changes brought about by British rule, Western education, and political awakening. It delves into how these families, rooted in their roles as intellectual and spiritual leaders, embraced modern ideals while grappling with the tensions of social reform, nationalism, and personal identity.
Through translated autobiographies and writings, the book provides a rich tapestry of individual experiences, from widow remarriage and the rise of vernacular journalism to the nationalist fervor inspired by leaders like Tilak. It also highlights the pivotal role of Maharashtra in India’s independence movement and intellectual revival. By focusing on the narratives of these families, the work captures the cultural and historical essence of a society in transition, making it a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of modern India.
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1963.
