Alternative Arguments is a tribute to Professor Surendra Gopal, a truly extraordinary historian, well-known for his undisputed and sterling scholarship. This collection of essays by his former colleagues, students and friends from India and abroad, comprises 37 scholarly contributions that have been broadly grouped into six sections: the Idea of India; Bihar: Ancient, Medieval and Modern; Indian Economy, Trade and Commerce; Nationalism and Freedom Struggle; Original Sources; and History through Art and Media. This volume is an attempt at evolving new contours in historical research, focusing on the multi-layered dynamism of India’s past.
