Summary: THE HISTORY of modern India has been narrated largely in terms of the nationalist movement, personalities and what has been seen as the 'high' politics of the state. Recent shifts in history writing have tried to bring in subordinated histories of regions and of groups. We are moving towards a wider understanding of politics, history and of the ordinary people who make history. This collection tries to push the emerging paradigm further by moving away from conventional notions of the history of the nation and indeed of the political.
