Indian History ndian scene is dominated by clashes between divisive forces and healthy traditions of evolution of Indian Society of composite culture. Major plank of operation of divisive forces is communalism based on religious diversity. In that they are distorting Indian History and misinterpreting mythology. The attempt to re-define our nationhood is at the core of their endeavour.

They are challenging the basis of our culture which underlines unity in diversity.

An wealth of literature has been produced by eminent scholars in response to this challenge. The present volume is an humble contribution in the nationwide struggle against communal and divisive forces.
