Empire,Identity and K.S. Ranjitsinhji
by Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie, Satadru Sen
This book is a study of mobility, image and identity in colonial India and imperial Britain in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It is a model for studies of migrant figures like K.S. Ranjitsinhji who emerged during the imperial period. Ranjitsinhji is an important figure in the history of modern India and the British empire because he was recognized as a great athlete and described as such. The book focuses on four aspects of Ranjitsinhji's life as a colonial subject: race, money, loyalty and gender. It touches upon Ranjitsinhji's career as a cricketer in the race section. The issue of money gave Indian critics of Ranjitsinhji's regime the language they needed to condemn his personal and administrative priorities, and to portray him as self-indulgent. Ranjitsinhji lived his life as a player of multiple gender roles: sometimes serially, and on occasion simultaneously. His status as a "prince" - while not entirely fake - was fragile enough to be unreliable, and he worked hard to reinforce it even as he constructed his Englishness. Any Indian attempt to transcend race, culture, climate and political place by imitating an English institution and its product must be an unnatural act of insurgency. The disdain for colonial politics that was manifest in the "small rebellions" at the end of the world war converged with the colonized/Indian identity that was evident at the League of Nations. Between the war and his death, it is clear, Ranjitsinhji moved to maximize his autonomy in Nawanagar.

Eleven Stars Relive Their Greatest Games
by Bruce Talbot
Eleven Sussex CCC legends tell the stories behind their most memorable games for the county - enabling fans of all ages to relive these magic moments through the eyes and emotions of the men who were there, playing their hearts out for the club. Mushtaq Ahmed, Chris Adams and James Kirtley are among those who recall their contributions to memorable triumphs of the last decade, an era which has brought Sussex unprecedented success. Here are the inside stories of three County Championship victories, three memorable Lord's finals and three great games from Sussex's sepia-tinted past. Highlights include a game against Yorkshire in 1896, recalling the style of Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji, global cricket's first superstar; Jim Parks Jr has pin-sharp memories of his father's benefit match at the very dawn of World War II, and Ian Gould reminisces about the 1986 Lord's triumph when 'Gunner' and his boys stole Lancashire's thunder.
