Civilising business: The imperial episteme of early US business school education
Abstract America’s first university business schools were established in an imperial episteme. The Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, the University of Chicago’s College of Commerce and Administration, and Berkeley’s College of Commerce were established between 1891 and 1898 upon the discipline of political economy.
Making management Hindu: S.K. Chakraborty and the indigenisation of homo economicus
Abstract S.K. Chakraborty was the first to produce Hindu formulations of management knowledge from the authoritative site of an elite management institute. I examine here two of the institutions that produced and authorised Chakraborty: the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIMC) and Vivekananda Nidhi, a Kolkata-based institution devoted to ‘value orientation’.
Prophets, Polemics, and Parasitic Nationalism
Part of our forum, Slandering the Sacred. In Slandering the Sacred, Barton J. Scott works backwards from a colonial India penal code, taking us into the concrete nineteenth-century world of insults and intimacy, disdain and devotion that produced modern laws governing words.

Abstract Critiques of animal sacrifice in India have become increasingly strident over the past fifteen years. In the state of West Bengal, many of these critiques center on Kālīghāṭ, a landmark Hindu pilgrimage site in Kolkata where goats are sacrificed daily to the goddess Kālī. However, while similar critiques of this practice have resulted in many Indian states pushing to ban it—or enforce previous bans of it—no such legal action has been issued in West Bengal.
