Making “Our Homeland”: Indian Entrepreneurs, Kin Network, and Stakeholders
摘要
This chapter uses the “Shāh Parivār Sammelan” (Assembly of Shah Lineage, hereinafter designated as the Assembly) held in Rajasthan as a case study for an ethnographic description of the process by which any collective identity is imagined based on a kin network in contemporary India. It is furthermore intended to clarify how a homeland is shaped as a place where a lineage begins.
