He is writing about Gujarat in the aftermath of the pogrom of 2002. Taking this scene as his point of departure, Chatterjee asks us to consider the pogrom as a technology of power and what work it does in contemporary democratic politics. He suggests that such spectacular, periodical violence whether in India or elsewhere, is not an aberration or an exception. Rather, it is constitutive of majoritarian democratic politics.- Reproduced
