Symposium on history of India

The Indian Institute of Advanced Study, in collaboration with Shawnee State University, Ohio, will organise a two-day International Virtual Symposium on the ‘History of India: Theory, Methods, Practice’ on July 15 and 16. In this symposium, the principles, methods and practical aspects of Indian history will be discussed. It will also highlight the shortcomings of pre-imperialist Indian history, which will focus on early, second millennium, art, anthropological and Indo-Islamic history. It is noteworthy that the foundation of Indian historiography was laid during the colonial period, which continued to dominate the history of India even after Independence. As India is going to celebrate the Independence Day, it is necessary to critically review the Indian history. For this purpose, this symposium is being organised by the Institute.
