Event Description

To coincide with the publication of the third, revised, edition of India after Gandhi, Ramachandra Guha will speak on the challenges confronting a historian documenting the relatively recent past. Historians of India have traditionally only looked at events and processes prior to 15 August 1947, treating that as a sort of lakshman rekha they must not cross. Guha will narrate his own experiences in breaching this disciplinary taboo, by speaking of the primary sources available to the student of contemporary history, and the biases he or she must be aware of.
