Description:Conventional historiography in South Asia relies on official documentation treating the elite as central players in the story of human past. The role of marginalized groups in the making of South Asian history is relegated to the background. "Popular Literature and Pre-Modern Societies in South Asia" charts a continuous historiographical tension between the archive-centric constructions and marginalized voices of the non-elite.

Spanning large swaths of pre-modern history and exploring material from diverse regions of the subcontinent, this volume speaks of people, individuals, cultures, and traditions sidelined in modern history. The subjects of this volume retrieve the non-maintstream descriptions/memories of peoples past, mapping the contest between the hegemonic and counter-hegemonic forces persisting actively in the domains of state, society, patriarchy, religion, and culture."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
