 exuality and Social Justice (GRSJ) on September 18 for its first Noted Scho
 lars Series event "Archives of Dissent: Sexuality\, Caste\, History"\, co-s
 ponsored by CMS and others.</h3><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p style="f
 ont-weight: 400\;">Suturing histories of caste and sexuality to histories o
 f dissent in South Asia\, this talk rearranges the grammar of our ethical e
 ngagements with the past and present. At stake here are the historical vern
 aculars -the data- that found the evidentiary regimes of rights and represe
 ntation for subaltern subjects. On offer here are figurations of <em>andola
 n/protest</em>\, meditations that move between the heady inspirations of di
 ssent and the stultifying violence of state practices. <em>Andolan</em> is 
 after all a movement in Hindustani music\, an <em>alankar</em> (combination
 /ornamentation of notes) that oscillates between one fixed note and its cou
 nterpart\, touching\, suffusing\, all that lies in between. Let us imagine 
 such an historical <em>andolan </em>together.</p><p><strong>About Anjali Ar
