The Oxford India Collection is a series which brings together writings of enduring value published by OUP.This book examines rare and scattered essays, notes and reviews of D.D. Kosambi. He introduced pioneering perspectives and methods in Indological studies, written and published over almost thirty years. These writings cover an enormous range: text-edition and philology, religion, historical reconstruction, archaeology and anthropology, considerations of method, and so on. Together they reflect an integrated framework which, in Kosambi's own characterization, was Marxist. Many of Kosambi's seminal ideas were worked out in great depth in these scholarly articles; published in different journals, in India and abroad, they have long remained outside the reach even of experts. By attempting to be a comprehensive anthology, the collection will for the first time enable readers to sample the versatility of Kosambi's work. The introduction by B.D. Chattopadhyaya explores the genesis, range, and significance of Kosambi's writings.

Of virtually no modern historian other than D.D. Kosambi (1907 1966) can it be said: He changed the way in which Indian history was conceptualized and written. In fact, the term Renaissance man springs to mind because Kosambi s intellectual contributions cross disciplinary boundaries, ranging from ancient history to mathematics to Sanskrit literature to numismatics to India s energy policy.  This book contains relatively unknown writings by Kosambi, including several obscure but important essays and an unpublished children s story. Also made available here for the first time are some wonderful letters that Kosambi wrote to, among others, the scientist Homi Bhabha and the writer-historian Robert Graves. These reveal Kosambi s mastery of the epistolary art.  Other sections contain tributes to Kosambi by his friends, and essays by major contemporary scholars on his contributions in diverse fields. The volume gives a new and well-rounded picture of Kosambi s writings, as well as mature assessments of his scholarship by some of the best minds of our time.
