摘要

最近，理查德·m·伊顿(Richard M. Eaton)在《前线》(frontl前线)上发表的关于前现代印度和印度-穆斯林国家寺庙亵渎的文章，为西方对印度和印度历史的流行叙述做出了贡献。在伊顿对传统史学方法所产生的问题的思考中，有许多有争议的领域、误解和误读。在这里，我们试图从更广泛的方法论角度，即超越史学的角度，批判性地回顾伊顿关于前现代印度寺庙亵渎的一些论点。考虑到印度情况的复杂性，仅用史学证据来解释印度历史可能是不够的，因此需要仔细应用当代民族学证据、间接物证和特定的印度语境来验证史学。

Temple Desecration in Pre-modern India and Indo-Muslim States: A Discussion Beyond Historiography

Recent articles on temple desecration in pre-modern India and Indo-Muslim states by Richard M. Eaton published in Frontlilne have contributed to the popular Western narratives about India and Indian history. There are many contested areas, misunderstandings and misinterpretations in Eaton’s deliberations on the problem arising out of the conventional historiographic method. Here, an attempt has been made to critically review some of the arguments of Eaton on temple desecration in pre-modern India in a wider methodological perspective, that is, beyond historiography. The historiographic evidence alone in interpreting Indian history may not be enough in view of the complexity of Indian situation, thus necessitating validation of historiography by careful application of contemporary ethnological evidence, circumstantial material evidence and specific Indian contextual situation.

期刊介绍： The Indian Historical Review (IHR), a peer reviewed journal, addresses research interest in all areas of historical studies, ranging from early times to contemporary history. While its focus is on the Indian subcontinent, it has carried historical writings on other parts of the world as well. Committed to excellence in scholarship and accessibility in style, the IHR welcomes articles which deal with recent advancements in the study of history and discussion of method in relation to empirical research. All articles, including those which are commissioned, are independently and confidentially refereed. The IHR will aim to promote the work of new scholars in the field. In order to create a forum for discussion, it will be interested in particular in writings which critically respond to articles previously published in this journal. The IHR has been published since 1974 by the Indian Council of Historical Research. It is edited by an Editorial Board appointed by the Council. The Council also obtains the advice and support of an Advisory Committee which comprises those members of the Council who are not members of the editorial board.
