1. Our History Their History Whose Histor The India List
by Romila Thapar 
Price: USD 14.86
Dealer: Biblio, Keystones Books
Description: Seagull Books London Ltd. Hardcover. NEW. In her insightful book, "Our History, Their History, Whose History?", renowned historian Romila Thapar delves deep into the intricate world of nationalism and its profound impact on the study of history. She challenges the traditional notion of history as a mere collection of facts and dates, highlighting its purpose in shaping societies and providing a sense of ancestry to communities. Thapar argues that the interpretations of history are influenced by conflicting notions of nationalism, particularly in India, which have significantly shaped the idea of nationhood. One of the primary concerns Thapar addresses is the emergence of a nationalistic theory in India that claims the victimization of one religious community by another throughout history. She argues that this theory deliberately ignores substantial evidence that contradicts this narrative, serving a specific political and ideological purpose. Thapar counters these attempts at misrepresentation by presenting historical instances of cultural intermingling and the interconnectedness of communities in India. She asserts that the conflicts experienced today have their roots in the British colonial construction of India's history, which played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's perception of itself. Thapar also tackles the controversial issue of the deletions of sections of Indian history textbooks by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), the Indian educational council. She suggests that these deletions are likely motivated by a desire to promote a particular reading of history that aligns with the ideology of those in power. This, she argues, undermines the authentic study of history and contributes to the fabrication of historical narratives for political gain. The book's title, "Our History, Their History, Whose History?", underscores Thapar's call for readers to critically question the authenticity of historical narratives put forth by a particular group of nationalists. She emphasizes the clash between professional historians who seek to understand the inherited present through a rigorous examination of the past and fabricators who manipulate history to serve their political agenda. Thapar's work is both engaging and thought-provoking, urging readers to reconsider their understanding of history and its role in shaping societies. By highlighting the impact of nationalism on historical interpretations, she brings to light the underlying power dynamics that influence how history is studied and portrayed. Her meticulous analysis challenges readers to not accept historical narratives at face value but to critically analyze the motivations behind them. In conclusion, "Our History, Their History, Whose History?" by Romila Thapar is a timely and significant exploration of the complex relationship between nationalism and the discipline of history. Thapar's meticulous research and nuanced arguments shed light on the conflicts between authentic historical inquiry and the fabrication of history for political gain. Her book serves as a reminder of the importance of rigorous historical study and encourages readers to question the narratives they encounter in order to gain a deeper understanding of the past and its impact on the present.

Description: ISBN10: 1803093544, ISBN13: 9781803093543, [publisher: Seagull Books London Ltd, Greenford] Hardcover Hardcover. An overview of nationalism and its impact on the study of history from one of India's most prominent historians. In this timely book, historian Romila Thapar delves into the complex world of nationalism and its impact on the interpretations of the past and on the discipline of history itself. History, she expounds, is no mere collection of information and chronology, and its purpose extends well beyond storytelling. Recognizing nationalism as a powerful force that gives rise to various narratives that provide ancestry to communities and shape the direction of societies, Thapar explores how, in India, two conflicting notions of nationalism have evolved and shaped the idea of the nation. Today, one such nationalistic theory claims the victimization of one religious community by another through centuries of "misrule." Such a claim willfully ignores ample evidence to the contrary to suit a particular political and ideological purpose. Thapar counters such attempts at misrepresentation by citing several historical instances of the nuanced interface and intermingling of cultures, as well as by showing how today's conflicts have their roots in the British colonial construction of India's history. She also addresses the recent controversy surrounding the deletions of sections of Indian history textbooks published by NCERT, the Indian educational council, and suggests that the intention is more likely to be the promotion of a particular reading of history that conforms to the ideology of those in power. Engaging and thought-provoking, Our History, Their History, Whose History? invites readers to question the authenticity of historical narratives touted by one group of nationalists, and it explores the clash between professional historians who study the past to understand our inherited present and fabricators who wield history for political gain.
