Abstract
This article documents in detail hitherto unavailable what Shail Mayaram called an “onslaught by the modern bureaucracy of the postcolonial state” on the liminally placed Meo community in the Mewat region, comprising the former princely states of Alwar and Bharatpur and the Gurgaon district of the former province of East Punjab. A people well-described as “in-between Hinduism and Islam,” the Meo community found itself, at a time of “two-nation” theory and consequent “partition politics,” a misfit. This article begins in 1949, when existing accounts of the story of the Meos end and traces the fraught process of their reterritorialization on their own land, now part of a partitioned nation state. Given the current ascendant culturally nationalist Indian state and society, it represents the Mewat of 1949–50 as a community lab of the early Indian nation state; tests its claims of parity, equality, and freedom; and provides a “prehistory” of the contemporary violence there.

官僚主义,社区和土地:米奥斯(Mewat)的Meos安置,1949-50

摘要
本文详细记录了Shail Mayaram迄今无法获得的,在梅瓦特地区由穆罕默德州合法安置的Meo社区“被后殖民国家的现代官僚主义所困扰”的情况,该社区包括前阿尔瓦勒和巴拉特普尔王储州以及前者的古尔冈地区东旁遮普省。在被描述为“两民族”理论和随之而来的“分区政治”时期,Meo社区被人描述为“印度教与伊斯兰教之间的人”,但发现自己处于不适应状态。本文始于1949年,当时有关Meos故事的现有叙述结束,并追溯了他们在自己的土地上重新领土化的繁琐过程,而该土地现在已成为一个分裂的民族国家的一部分。鉴于当前文化上的民族主义印度国家和社会的崛起,它代表了1949-50年的Mewat,是早期印度民族国家的社区实验室;测试其对同等,平等和自由的主张;并提供了那里当代暴力的“史前史”。
