Casteless, Raceless India: Constitutive Discourses of National Integration

“…National discourses also reassemble the discourses ''found in the traditions, collective memories and histories of a 'people''' in order to create a new formation, often perpetuating unequal power relations between the dominated and the subjugated (Hasian & Flores, 1997, p. 92). For example, Delgado's (1995) study demonstrated how Chicano nationalism was constituted from the articulation of Mexican, Chicano, and North American cultural forms and ideologies, while Halualani's (2002) analysis of Hawaiian identity revealed how the state apparatus codified the Aloha spirit into civil discourse and the ideology of multiculturalism by overriding differences among peoples.
