ANCIENT INDIA — New Research: Edited by Upinder Singh and Nayanjot Lahiri; Oxford University Press, YMCA Library Building, Jai Singh Road, New Delhi-110001.The history of modern scholarship in understanding India’s past is more than two centuries old. There have been many publications by pioneers and doyens in the field. What distinguishes this book is that those who have contributed to it are young, standing on the first step of their research career. All the articles show good academic maturity and meticulousness in gathering data, correlating them into a theoretical framework and, above all, presenting them in a language that is devoid of jargon. That there is an odd man out among the contributors should warm the hearts of gender activists. If the contributors deserve all encouragement in their endeavour, the editors need to be commended for guiding these young scholars in the right direction.
