-------------------------------
This is the second lecture of the course “Ideas and Institutions of Ancient Indian Political Thought” delivered by Dr Abhay Kumar. In this lecture, Kumar talked about the beginning of history writing in the modern period in India during colonial rule. The colonial knowledge was later challenged by the nationalist historians but they also operated to an extent within the colonial framework. This is one of the reasons behind the rise of communalism as a modern phenomenon. In this 40-minute lecture, Kumar also talked about the sources of historian writing and their strengths and weaknesses. This lecture is useful for not only political science and history students but anyone interested in South Asian studies.

यह डॉ अभय कुमार द्वारा दिया गया पाठ्यक्रम "प्राचीन भारत के राजनीतिक विचार एवं संस्थाएँ " का दूसरा व्याख्यान है। इस व्याख्यान में डॉ कुमार ने भारत में औपनिवेशिक शासन के दौरान इतिहास लेखन की शुरुआत के बारे में बात की। बाद के सालों में, औपनिवेशिक ज्ञान को राष्ट्रवादी इतिहासकारों ने चुनौती दी, लेकिन वे भी कुछ हद तक औपनिवेशिक इतिहास लेखन के ढांचे के भीतर ही संचालित हुए। आधुनिक परिघटना के रूप में साम्प्रदायिकता के उदय के पीछे यह एक कारण है। 40 मिनट के इस व्याख्यान में कुमार ने इतिहासकार लेखन के स्रोतों और उनकी ताकत और कमजोरियों के बारे में भी बात की। यह व्याख्यान न केवल राजनीति विज्ञान और इतिहास के छात्रों के लिए बल्कि दक्षिण एशियाई अध्ययन में रुचि रखने वाले किसी भी व्यक्ति के लिए उपयोगी है।
