Additional information

Abhi main ikchhaen dharan karke kya karoon Vyarth tomri bajake kya karoon Sansar mein khamosh logon ki koi nahi sunta (What is the use of nurturing desires at this moment. Why should I play the tomri [subaltern musical instrument] uselessly? In this world no one cares to listen to the words of the silent.) Sant Tukaram, Abhang

“Fragments”, in the sense I have used here, can be found in Partha Chatterjee’s, The Nation and its Fragments, 1993, Princeton: Princeton University Press.
