Description

This volume brings together new writings on different aspects of ancient Indian history like gender, archaeology, religion, landscapes, and literature. The contributors, mostly bright young scholars come from fields like history, archaeology, literary studies, and anthropology. They underline important methodological advances in the interpretation of literary and archaeological sources and in raising new and creative historical questions. Together they generate a unique, fresh dialogue, discussion and debate among scholars working within the field of ancient Indian history. The introduction written by Upinder Singh and Nayanjot Lahiri not only surveys the new writings but also raises important questions confronting ancient Indian history today.
