This volume of essays focuses on the fresh set of problems that
post-Independence historiography has brought to the fore. It covers
areas such as the integration of archaeology with narratives of
early Indian history; the trajectories of social change and social
formation; the historical position of ideology and its shifts; and,
importantly, how ways of communicating knowledge of the past is now
increasingly under non-academic fundamentalist onslaught. Studying
Early India also investigates the profound impact of colonialism on
the study of India's early past, the new methods and premises
introduced into India by colonial studies and the variety of
departures from traditional, pre-colonial modes of history-writing.
This new book on the methodological changes that confront the
historian of precolonial India will consolidate Professor
Chattopadhyaya's reputation as one of the foremost thinkers in his
area of ancient and early medieval history.
