Kesavan Veluthat in Conversation with Manu Devadevan: History as a Discipline

Kesavan Veluthat is a prominent historian who has done groundbreaking work on the precolonial history of South India. In the first part of the three-part conversation with fellow historian Manu Devadevan, Veluthat recalls his days as a student of history under the eminent historian M.G.S. Narayanan. Veluthat disagrees with the recent notion that history as a discipline has popular origins, and says, instead, that it is related to power and those in power. He stresses that history is a rigorous discipline that demands a critical understanding of evidence.
