Focusing on post-Independence historiography, this collection of essays examines the integration of archaeology with early Indian narratives, social change trajectories, and the evolving role of ideology. It highlights the challenges posed by fundamentalist perspectives on historical knowledge and the lasting effects of colonialism on the study of India's past. By addressing methodological shifts and new approaches introduced during colonial times, the volume reinforces Professor Chattopadhyaya's status as a leading scholar in ancient and early medieval history.
