Thesis (Ph.D.)--National University of Singapore (Singapore), 2016.

This thesis focuses on the six decades of Sikh existence in modern Shanghai between 1885 and 1945. Taking the translocal approach, it explores the interplay between the Sikh community in Shanghai and the translocal networks in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The main argument of this thesis is that the cross-border circulation of personnel, institutions, information, and ideologies in the British colonial network as well as the Sikh diasporic network shaped the main features of the Sikh community in Shanghai. The Sikhs in Shanghai too played crucial roles in influencing the patterns of the global Sikh migration and the enterprise of Indian nationalist struggles in Southeast and East Asia in the first four decades of the twentieth century.

520 $a This thesis focuses on the six decades of Sikh existence in modern Shanghai between 1885 and 1945. Taking the translocal approach, it explores the interplay between the Sikh community in Shanghai and the translocal networks in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The main argument of this thesis is that the cross-border circulation of personnel, institutions, information, and ideologies in the British colonial network as well as the Sikh diasporic network shaped the main features of the Sikh community in Shanghai. The Sikhs in Shanghai too played crucial roles in influencing the patterns of the global Sikh migration and the enterprise of Indian nationalist struggles in Southeast and East Asia in the first four decades of the twentieth century.
520 $a By focusing on translocal networks, this study distinguishes itself from extant studies on modern Shanghai, imperial history, and the Sikh diaspora. By incorporating Shanghai into the networks of the British Empire and Sikh migration, this study critiques the nationalist historiography that overemphasizes Shanghai as merely a modern Chinese city per se, while overlooking its position in translocal networks. Additionally, different from the paradigm of imperial history that normally scrutinizes issues from the perspective of the metropole-colony binary dichotomy, this study argues that inter-colonial interactions and connections played a significant role in effecting issues such as specific policies of individual colonies, the migration of colonial subjects, and anti-imperial activities of nationalists. Last but not the least, it views Sikhs as subalterns and tries to recover their subjectivities in global history. Different from most studies of the Sikh diaspora that focus either on the link between overseas Sikhs and their homeland, the Punjab, or on the acculturation and assimilation issues of Sikh migrants in a foreign country, this thesis focuses on migration as multi-stop journeys to illustrate how the interrelated connections among numerous Sikhs communities overseas framed their emigrant experience. In sum, taking the experience of the Sikhs in Shanghai as an example, this thesis exposes the weakness and limitation of the national history that is unable to appropriate certain cross-boundary phenomena and subjects. It further champions the translocal perspective that not only considers human pasts as connected and shared, but also sheds light on how subalterns participated in and transformed the global integration process.
