Khan's monograph argues for the centrality of 'locality' in shaping Muslim identity, emotion, and politics from the colonial era to the postcolonial present. Drawing on multilingual archives and the history of emotions, the book traces how Rampuri rulers and subjects negotiated belonging through concepts like 'poetic sovereignty' and an affective sense of place known as 'Rampuriyat'. The review assesses the book as a methodologically innovative and significant contribution that counters homogenizing narratives, highlighting its interdisciplinary value for scholars of South Asia. http://hdl.handle.net/10230/71778 Rampur Princely States Muslim Identity History of Emotions Locality South Asian History Sovereignty Postcolonial Studies Urdu Literature Review of Razak Khan, minority pasts: locality, emotions, and belonging in princely Rampur
