Author D.r. Sardesai Presents The History Of India In Its Entire Civilizational Depth. Using An Indiacentric, As Opposed To Eurocentric, Approach, Sardesai Covers The Process Of Change In India Through The Centuries Affecting Different Segments Of The Society, Including The Subalterns. He Deals With The Sweep Of Traditional Indian History As Well As The Postindependence Events, Judiciously Balancing Narrative And Analysis In The Conceptual Framework Of Postcolonial And Postmodernist Approaches. This Is The First Major Survey That Deals With The Entire Indian History Along The Lines Of Tradition And Modernity Instead Of The Old And Largely Inapplicable Divisions Of Ancient, Medieval, And Modern Timeframes. In Adopting Such A Periodization, The Book Supports The Presentation Followed By Most Instructors In Their Courses On India.--jacket. 1. Land And The Human Fabric -- 2.
