H-ASIA December 28, 2013 Member edited publication _New Perspectives in the History of Indian Education_ *********** From: Parimala Rao <parimalavrao@gmail.com> Dear All, A very happy new year to all the members. I am happy to share with you all, my edited volume: _New Perspectives in the History of Indian Education_, edited by Parimala V. Rao, Orient BlackSwan, New Delhi, 2014. _New Perspectives in the History of Indian Education_ brings together essays on the milestones in the development of modern education in India since the mid-nineteenth century. It offers readings on a wide range of interconnected themes, and the debates which have shaped the contours of the educational policy of contemporary India. The essays critique the existing anti-imperialist, postmodern and nationalist historiographies of Indian education, and bring forth the shortcomings of these approaches. Basing themselves on archival sources, they upturn the existing myths created by these historiographies and shed new light on the role of the colonial state, missionaries and Indian nationalist leaders.
