Abstract
as a result, several other tales, of anti-caste radicalism, the rise of the left, the transformations in tribal worlds, exist only as addenda, never as tales that share a coeval status with the story of freedom. One hopes that debates on history in this country move beyond stating politically correct truisms or politically provocative half-truths and move on to discussing the historian’s craft and the teaching of history.
