- These two monographs are the first full-length study of Grierson’s monumental Linguistic Survey of India (1903-1928). The longer-form output was necessary because of the bulk of the primary material, namely 21 printed volumes amounting to some 10,200 pages, and approximately 270 unpublished files in the British Library, studied over a ten-year period. The material’s breadth and the complexities of the issues at stake meant that the colonial production of knowledge and the politics of multilingualism, although related, had to be treated in separate books. It also necessitated analysing the material’s many complex aspects from the perspectives of multiple disciplines.
