‘The Lamp that Illumines the Past’
Kāvya is literature as art. Few modern scholars have suspected such aesthetic and affective literature to possess an impulse for capturing human history, and certainly not in any form consistent with modern notions of the discipline. Interrogating anew the remarkably long-lived misconception that early India did not/could not write history, and moving beyond interpretations that identify ‘embedded’ rather than overt forms of historicity in our an…

South Asia
Regional study
Around 1200 BCE, changes began to occur in the Afro-Eurasian world that can be attributed to both technological innovation and the coming of invaders, commonly called the Sea People. In Assyria, the rule of the Middle Assyrian Empire, which rose out of the ashes of the Mitanni Empire, continued throughout the twelfth century. The period after 1050 BCE is often called the Dark Ages in Near Eastern history, mainly because the dearth of records leav…
Early Mathurā
In this article certain established scholarly views about religious life in early Mathurā are put to the scrutiny of material and textual evidence brought together here in a new interpretive relationship.

Leading scholars examine critical transformations…

Traditional scholarly opinion has regarded Kalhaṇa's Rājataraṅgiṇī, the twelfth-century Sanskrit chronicle of Kashmiri kings, as a work of history. This essay proposes a reinvestigation of the nature of the iconic text from outside the shadow of that label. It first closely critiques the positivist "history hypothesis," exposing its internal contradictions over questions of chronology, causality, and objectivity as attributed to the text. It then…
Women about Town
Most historiographical attempts to draw on early Indian narrative literary works, specifically kāvyas, for insights into the past remain circumscribed either by the apprehension that such literature contains conventional, idealized and stereotyped descriptions that are historically sterile, or by the very opposite tendency to take these descriptions at face value and come up with uncritical, historically thin accounts. Diverging from both these a…
