About this title

Review

"This is an important book, a book that makes a break...which is needed."--The Hindusim Times

"Much of the discussion regarding Indian history writing in the groves of academia is a dialogue or polemic with Subaltern Studies. Historians are identified...according to whether one is a 'subaltern' or not."--The Telegraph

"Subaltern Studies, a series of fragmentary explorations of popular mentality and politics in particular places and at particular times...has served its purpose--a very useful purpose--and it is to be hoped that it will encourage broader and more long-ranging works giving a connected history of the lower classes."--The Statesman
