Romila Thapar: Perceptions of the Past in Early India

This really goes against what I've read about the history of India and is definitely worth a listen.


Romila Thapar: Perceptions of the Past in Early India: "One of the world's foremost experts on the history of early India, Romila Thapar, winner of the 2008 Kluge Prize, discussed the rich and ancient civilization in a lecture titled 'Perceptions of the Past in Early India.' In her talk, Thapar critiqued the notion that the civilization in India lacked a sense of history, and discussed the recognition of historical traditions in the early texts of Northern India."
