Event Description

Controversies are intrinsic to the discipline of History, proof enough that the past lives on in us. India has had a generous share of them, minor and major ones. Too often drowned in the din of politics and ideologies, they have rarely been approached with scholarly rigour and a dispassionate scrutiny of diverse perspectives. Can we design better strategies?

Michel Danino’s lecture will be followed by a Q&A with the audience.

This lecture is a part of Azim Premji University’s Public Lecture Series.
