so wonderful! Thank you for this introduction and interview! I particularly cheered when reading her response to why we need to know history: "you can't write a sentence w/out knowing the alphabet and you can't build a house from the roof down - you have to have a foundation." Yes!!
Thank you, Jan! I somehow missed your comment, hence this very slow response. I am glad you enjoyed reading this conversation with Dr Rangachari. I learnt so much and, like you, celebrated her articulation of why we need to know history. <3
Enjoyed reading the conversation. Thank you for presenting Dr Devika Rangachari and her writings based on researches in ancient Indian history of regions from Kashmir to Odisha. Shows how commitment of a scholar in a niche area creates new literature and enlarges the readers’ perspective. Congratulations to both of you.
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed our conversation. Dr Rangachari is truly an impressive scholar and wonderful writer. I learnt a lot from her during our conversation.
Thankyou Rohini, writing about conversations such as these bring history alive!
Thank you, Vimala! They do indeed, and we must be grateful to writers like Dr Rangachari who bring the joy of history to so many. <3
