چکیده
Many frameworks for the writing of urban history in South Asia have interpreted the city as aspace of socio-political organisation, rather than an object of thought itself. By contrast, thisarticle examines how a mythologised version of Lucknow’s illustrious pre-colonial history,particularly its supposed cultural refinement (tehzib), was evoked in the colonial-era city.Examining the remembrance of old Lucknow in print and public life, this article argues that thishistorical mythology was at points harnessed for many contemporary purposes, includingoffering respite from a hostile present, providing a model for Hindu-Muslim political concord,and articulating a distinctively Islamic interpretation of modern religious pluralism.
