An accessible monograph that invites readers to rethink traditional historical boundaries.

Looking Back Through our Identities explores the intricate relationship between myth and history in shaping the identities of diverse Indian communities. Through a meticulous analysis of ancient texts and oral traditions, Aloka Parasher Sen examines how groups like the Chenchus interpret and navigate their past. Sen discusses the role of myth in providing alternative histories, challenging linear, elite-centric historical narratives.

Sen also addresses the significance of memory and visual representation in preserving history, advocating for a broader understanding that encompasses multiple perspectives and identities. Looking Back Through our Identitiesoffers a comprehensive and inclusive view of India's cultural heritage.
