Book On Historical Diversities Released, A Collection Of Society, Politics And Culture
By Dikshit Dass, Section Books & e-Books
A clearly emotional professor V. N. Dutta, historian, academic and author for over four decades, said that "seldom perhaps have I been so touched and humbled by this expression of strong feelings. I am indeed grateful that it has been mentioned that I am a good teacher".
Prof Dutta was speaking on the occasion of the release of the book `Historical Diversities: Society, Politics and Culture,' a collection of essays edited by K.L. Tuteja and Sunita Pathania. Many eminent historians have contributed essays for the book including Bipin Chandra, K.M. Shrimali, Indu Banga, J.S. Grewal, Aniruddha Ray, Barun De, Irfan Habib, K.N. Panikkar, among others. The book consists of 19 essays spread over modern, medieval and ancient India and gives rather concise and indepth, introspective inspection on major historical eras. The essays have been written for Prof V. N. Dutta who has touched the lives of most of the historian-contributors in some way or the other. Click On "Full Story" for More..
In his usual graceful style, one that is strangely missing in Indian society in the 21st century, Dutta mentioned that, "I have known Bipin for the last 40 years and learnt much from his works and benefited much from Prof Bhattacharjee's writings. I dare say that Bipin is an institution builder and there are few teachers in our times who have influenced students as he has done."
Bipin Chandra on the other hand said that, "I am an admirer of Prof V. N. Dutta's writings, his has been a seminal contribution on the national movement. His recent book `Gandhi and Bhagat Singh' is a deeply researched and very concise work, a gift for the readers."
The book `Historical Diversities' provides interesting insight into subjects like land relations, regional identity, gender relations, composite culture, internal migrations, colonial notions of power, environment, science, nationalist discourse, ethnicity and politics of Dalit identity.
