Summary, etc During the course of a long and distinguished career, historian and public intellectual, Romila<br/>Thapar has produced a unique body of work. Her original and path-breaking commentaries<br/>and essays on ancient Indian history, along with her incisive writings on culture, society,<br/>archaeology, philosophy, classical literature and education have inspired a growing number<br/>of historians, scholars, public intellectuals and ordinary people alike. In this Festschrift,<br/>Romila Thapar’s students and colleagues from across the world celebrate her contributions<br/>by applying her methods and insights to a range of historical, philosophical, sociological<br/>and cultural questions. Questioning Paradigms, Constructing Histories aims to bring Romila<br/>Thapar and her pioneering work to the attention of a wider audience.<br/>According to Romila Thapar: ‘...an enquiry should begin with a question... The question may<br/>be something quite simple, the answer to which will further qualify what you are saying. Or it<br/>may be a question that gives you the possibility of looking at the event or the person in history<br/>from different points of view. And that one question then leads to other questions that reflect<br/>these different points of view. So I would say that the fundamental approach to any piece of<br/>research or what one is working on grows out of a question.’<br/>The book is divided into five parts—‘Political Processes’, ‘The Symbolic and the Social’,<br/>‘Historical Consciousness and Reconstructions’, ‘Looking Beyond India’, ‘The Past and the<br/>Present: Dialogues and Debates’. Each part focuses on a theme that Romila Thapar has<br/>worked on and topics that she has returned to time and again. Together, they showcase her<br/>exceptional achievements as one among the best historians of our time.
