The History Of Bangalore Whose Story? Power, Perspective, and the Writing of Deccan History
In this insightful interlude, Ramjee Chandran steps back from the historical narrative to examine how the history of the Deccan has been recorded and interpreted over time. Explore the evolution of historical writing from ancient inscriptions and Persian chronicles to British colonial accounts and modern scholarship. Understand how political agendas, religious biases, and cultural perspectives have shaped our understanding of the past, and why a critical approach to historical sources is essential. This episode offers a crucial lens through which to view the narratives of the Deccan's rich and complex history.
