Popular Lectures on History

“No chronicles, family records, church annals are to be found----a symptom of local rustic production, the idiocy of village life as lived from year to year, absence of the trader’s influence. We have therefore to abandon the scissors-and-paste method. Our history has to be written without solid documentation of episodes, in large outlines.” -----D.D. Kosambi (Stages of Indian History)
