This article examines Zionist/Israeli comparisons and connections to India and Pakistan between 1945 and 1955. While Zionists found striking similarities between the unfolding realities in Palestine/Israel and South Asia, the exact nature of the comparison was quite equivocal. On the diplomatic axis, Israelis sought to establish full diplomatic relations with India by underscoring the similarity of their two nations. Here, comparisons were a way of positioning Israel as an analogue of India. On the technocratic axis, Israelis looked to Pakistan as a model for constructing legal institutions to expropriate Palestinian property. The appeal of Pakistan as a model was due to a perceived glaring difference: Pakistan was a Muslim state, Israel the Jewish State. Meanwhile, as Zionists/Israelis looked to India and Pakistan, Indians returned the gaze. Indian technocrats found the methods Israel used to resettle Jewish refugees and immigrants worthy of emulation. When they came to Israel to study these resettlement efforts, they were-unknowingly-often looking at projects that had been built upon former Palestinian land which the Israeli government had seized using the transplanted Pakistani law-the very same laws that had dispossessed India's new citizens, whom the technocrats were seeking to resettle. This article ultimately uncovers a broader post-imperial technocratic sphere in which nascent states continued to transplant legal institutions developed in other parts of the former colonial world to construct their own.

不确定的比较:犹太复国主义者和以色列在分区和非殖民化时代与印度和巴基斯坦的联系

本文考察了 1945 年至 1955 年间犹太复国主义者/以色列与印度和巴基斯坦的比较和联系。虽然犹太复国主义者发现巴勒斯坦/以色列和南亚正在展开的现实之间存在惊人的相似之处,但这种比较的确切性质是相当模棱两可的。在外交轴心上,以色列人试图通过强调两国的相似性来与印度建立全面的外交关系。在这里,比较是一种将以色列定位为印度类似物的方式。在技​​术官僚主义轴心上,以色列人将巴基斯坦视为建立法律机构以征用巴勒斯坦财产的典范。巴基斯坦作为典范的吸引力是由于明显的差异:巴基斯坦是一个穆斯林国家,以色列是一个犹太国家。与此同时,当犹太复国主义者/以色列人将目光投向印度和巴基斯坦时,印度人也收回了目光。印度技术官僚发现以色列用来安置犹太难民和移民的方法值得效仿。当他们来到以色列研究这些重新安置工作时,他们在不知不觉中经常看到在以色列政府使用移植的巴基斯坦法律没收的前巴勒斯坦土地上建造的项目,这些法律也剥夺了印度新公民的权利,技术官僚正在寻求重新安置。本文最终揭示了一个更广泛的后帝国技术官僚领域,在这个领域中,新生国家继续移植在前殖民世界其他地区发展起来的法律制度,以构建自己的制度。他们——在不知不觉中——经常关注在以色列政府使用移植的巴基斯坦法律没收的前巴勒斯坦土地上建造的项目——这些法律也剥夺了印度新公民的权利,而技术官僚正在寻求重新安置他们。本文最终揭示了一个更广泛的后帝国技术官僚领域,在这个领域中,新生国家继续移植在前殖民世界其他地区发展起来的法律制度,以构建自己的制度。他们——在不知不觉中——经常关注在以色列政府使用移植的巴基斯坦法律没收的前巴勒斯坦土地上建造的项目——这些法律也剥夺了印度新公民的权利,而技术官僚正试图重新安置他们。本文最终揭示了一个更广泛的后帝国技术官僚领域,在这个领域中,新生国家继续移植在前殖民世界其他地区发展起来的法律制度,以构建自己的制度。
