This seminar traces the efforts by global and Indian capital to build a new Indian homeland security market and sector in the aftermath of the 26/11 attacks. Drawing on participant observations of Indian homeland security tradeshows and conferences and analysis of industry texts, it traces the attempts by these actors educate an Indian homeland security market, build greater “awareness” of and investment in homeland security across India and create a new kind of security subject. Situating these efforts as a universalist project of world-making, the seminar documents how the involved actors reinscribed global imperial and colonial hierarchies of difference but also sought to transcend difference by regulating and processing it.
