  • Descrição: There are four major trends of writing Indian history- Imperialist, Nationalist, Marxist and Subaltern. All these writing trends over the years have interpreted India's Past with different perspectives and set of thoughts. Except Subaltern trend all other trends have presented Indian history as a continuous process from ancient to modern times. They all have presented laws and generalizations to understand Indian history basically influenced by western concepts of Enlightenment, Liberty& Democracy and Communism. Though these perspectives have fundamental differences, still they all believed in an idea of progress from one stage to another in accordance with a social law of humankind. In the post world war era, postmodernism theory developed and rejected this very conception of continual progress. They saw history as unconnected, haphazard and unpredictable set of events. Therefore, in the wake of post world war and post colonial era a need to re look Indian history from this new perspective is felt, which can bring many hidden facts to the light. This article is an attempt towards this very direction.
