 n></p><p>Suturing histories of caste and sexuality to histories of dissent 
 in South Asia\, this talk rearranges the grammar of our ethical engagements
  with the past and present. At stake here are the historical vernaculars -t
 he data- that found the evidentiary regimes of rights and representation fo
 r subaltern subjects.  On offer here are figurations of <em>andolan/protest
 </em>\, meditations that move between the heady inspirations of dissent and
  the stultifying violence of state practices. <em>Andolan</em> is after all
  a movement in Hindustani music\, an <em>alankar</em> (combination/ornament
 ation of notes) that oscillates between one fixed note and its counterpart\
 , touching\, suffusing\, all that lies in between. Let us imagine such an h
 istorical <em>andolan </em>together.</p><p><strong>ABOUT </strong></p><p><i
