India the Starting Point: Cross-National Self-Translation in 1900s Calcutta
This chapter investigates the anti-imperial collaboration between Aurobindo Ghose and Sister Nivedita during the critical time in the fortunes of the British Empire. It considers some of the definitive aspects of Nivedita and Aurobindo's anti-colonial self-making or self-translation, focusing on their different investments in the cross-border nationalism of Bengal. Particular notice is given to Nivedita's militancy and to her Kali-worship as the culminating sign of her self-assimilation to neo-Hinduism, for Nivedita's process of Hinduisation was probably the more dramatic make-over, givern her Europeannes.
Keywords: Sister Nivedita, nationalism, Kali worship, Aurobindo Ghose, India, cross-border nationalism, self-translation, Calcutta, Bengal, neo-Hinduism
