To encourage the incorporation of postmodern perspectives into postcolonial Marxism, the development of Marxist philosophy in the Indian academic context since 1947 is examined. Marxist thought in India was originally economistic, but has been influenced by the country's revolutionary communist movement of the 1960s. The emergence of the Subaltern Studies school of Marxist thought, which, following Antonio Gramsci, criticizes classical Marxism for its insufficient emphasis on the specificity of ideology, is described, & limitations inherent in the structuralist framework of the Subaltern school are analyzed from a postmodern perspective. Three topics are discusssed: (1) the nature of the agrarian mode of production & peasant consciousness; (2) the nature of Indian nationalism in the context of Western hegemony; & (3) the postcolonial subject positions of oppressed populations. 19 References.

It was Europeans who started in Egypt a historic preservationist movement for Arab (or Islamic) art.1 It was they who persuaded Khedive Tawfiq to decree, in December 1881, the founding of the Committee for the Conservation of Monuments of Arab Art (hereafter "the Comité," the usual French designation). It was the European-dominated Comité that opened the Museum of Arab Art three years later, and it was an Englishman, K. A. C. Creswell, who established the Institute of Islamic Archaeology at the Egyptian (later Cairo) University. Why did the Europeans care? In 19th-century Europe, romanticism gave a strong impetus to writers and painters, scholars, and collectors to search for a lost past, the unusual, the exotic, the "Oriental." This inquiry into the past, at home and abroad, was intimately bound up with Westerners' search for their own identities and with the triumph of the idea of the nation-state. Historic preservationists and museums selected, conserved, and displayed buildings and objects defined as valuable to their national heritages. Romanticism, in part a revolt against classical styles, also spurred a "Gothic revival movement and a fascination with various Oriental styles.
