India: The Entire Past

Many Narratives of the Indian Civilization GN Devy and Ravi Korisettar in conversation with Ramachandra Guha https://bangaloreinternationalcentre.... July 18, 2023 G N Devy has immersed himself in a project that takes on a contentious issue in India’s culture wars, the country’s long history. He has brought together ninety historians from around the world to work with him on this project to trace the trajectory of the entire subcontinent since the end of the last ice age, some 12,000 years ago. This has culminated in the new book The Indians: Histories of a Civilization. Jointly edited by G N Devy, Tony Joseph (known for Early Indians) and Ravi Korisettar (eminent Archeologist), it has over a hundred focused essays by ninety scholars from all continents. The volume brings together the history of diverse people in South Asia from the times before the Holocene till our day. It presents the essential profile of India through the prisms of environment, population migrations, language-mix, emergence of philosophies, rise of different states, various people’s movements impacting the destiny of India and the formation of the nation as a ‘union of states’.
