Description

This book explores the dynamic interplay between memory and history during the crucial period from the 8th to the 14th century in medieval India. It takes up an interdisciplinary approach and includes contributions from seasoned scholars and emerging researchers across memory studies, folklore, ethnography, linguistics, literary studies, intellectual history, sociology, epigraphy, and archeology. Thematically organized, the book examines how the past was transmitted through collective memory, including inscriptions, monuments, royal narratives, folklore, language, travelogues, memoirs, religious practices, and ethnography of diverse communities. Departing from conventional historiographical narratives, it analyzes the medieval politico-cultural landscape of the region through a geo-cultural lens, emphasizing historical interactions and cultural preservation in collective memory. An invaluable resource for academics and professionals in history and related disciplines, this book also appeals to general readers interested in Indian history and culture. It is a rich and informative reference resource for students, practitioners, and enthusiasts in social sciences.
