“(De)colonizing Liberalism?: The Cabinet Mission’s Grouping Plan and Colonial Reponses to the Pakistan Demand, 1945-1947.”

Hello, Everyone:

The Center for Non-Western Studies at HU is hosting a public lecture by our own Tyler Heber on Thursday, February 9, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. I will say *where* the event will take place when I post a reminder of this event when we get closer to it.

The title for Professor Tyler’s talk is this: “(De)colonizing Liberalism?: The Cabinet Mission’s Grouping Plan and Colonial Reponses to the Pakistan Demand, 1945-1947.”

Professor Tyler Herber teaches in the Department of History and Political Science at Huntington University and is currently finishing his PhD at Purdue University. He will be sharing some of his research on how colonial ideologies of liberal democracy and Indian “communalism” responded to the anti-colonial claims of the Muslim League’s Pakistan Demand and led to the traumatic partition of British India into India and Pakistan along religious-majority lines in 1947.
