DESCRIPTION:Secularizing the Sacred and Exorcizing the Profane: Himalayas i
 n the imagination of Bengali literati (1857-1902) Drawing upon iconic Beng
 ali travel writing and pilgrim narratives\, this paper demonstrates how th
 e perception of Himalayas from being the bode of God gradually morphed int
 o a hybrid construction whereby pilgrimage paths tracing the mythical rout
 es supposedly followed by the Pandavas as they ascended to heaven were inf
 used with secular meaning. Thus\, Himalayas gradually became part of secul
 ar imagining of territoriality of putative Indian nation with profound imp
 lications for the claims of citizenship in future nation-state.&nbsp\;
