About the Book
This book brings together three important papers on communalism and the writing of Indian history, authored by Romila Thapar and other scholars. These papers were originally presented at a seminar organized by All India Radio in October 1968 on the theme “The Role of the Broadcaster in the Present Communal Situation.” The thoughtful and often intense discussions that followed their presentation highlighted the continuing relevance of the issues raised, leading to the decision to publish them for a wider readership. The essays critically examine how communalism affects historical interpretation and public understanding of India’s past, emphasizing the responsibility of historians and communicators in times of communal tension. This volume remains a significant contribution to debates on historiography, secularism, and the social role of history writing in India.
