Om denne bog
Bharata Before the British and Other Essays explores a number of fundamental questions regarding the history of early India: Did the British bring India into existence or is she an ancient nation? Was Kashmir ‘unique’ and isolated or thoroughly connected with the rest of India? Is myth the antithesis of history or the self-expression of historical communities? Was there an Indic vision of history and time as different from modern Western notions? Was Sanskrit an elitist language or one with public reach and relevance? Did it also speak for the weak and powerless, including animals? Could Indic architecture be an instrument of liberation (moksha)? What was the ancient idea of erotics (kama) and how did it relate to society? How did it feel—smell, sound, touch, appear—to live in our earliest cities? What is the state of Indian history today and where do we go from here?
