Twelve years on: urban history in India

The peasant continues to be the favourite subject for research in India, but urban history has made considerable progress in the last few years. In 1969, when the Yearbook was a slim Newsletter, I had contributed a bibliographical essay on ‘Urban History in India’ which also indicated the abundant raw material available and suggested possible lines of enquiry. The present report will cover briefly issues raised in writings and at seminars in the last few years.
