| General note | This book engages with some of the most important issues, debates, and methodologies in the writing of ancient Indian history.<br/><br/>Thematically structured, the first section discusses religious and regional processes through a meticulous analysis of inscriptions and material remains. The second―based extensively on archival sources―connects ancient and modern India through a discussion of the beginnings of Indian archaeology and the discovery, interpretation, and reinvention of ancient sites in colonial and post-colonial times. The third underlines the importance of reconstructing the intellectual landscape of ancient India through a sensitive, yet, critical historicization of political ideas in texts and inscriptions. The final section makes a strong case for situating ancient India within a broader, Asian, frame.<br/><br/> |
