Description

The essays in this volume - each of them providing a window to a collage of events and images superimposed upon each, that we call the social and the political world - provide partial but rich glimpses into this world.

These essays presented to Ravinder Kumar are arranged in a broad chronological sequence, from ancient history to the present, and the subjects they deal with cover diverse categories, from historical understanding to contemporary history to cultural studies to feminism, among others. They offer readings on how we understand our past, or conversely, how we bring an understanding of the past into comprehending our present.
