DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY

Profile:

The Department of History is a place of learning, where students, scholars, thinkers and activists, all of different hues, gather to debate and share their knowledge of History.

    History is a mode of reasoning and interpretation. All of us function as historians, but to be adept historians we have to learn how to questions and analyse evidence. We teach students how to parse the detritus of the past, in archives, literature, art, architecture and other material remains. This is carried out through formal course work, research guidance, seminars, workshops, to prepare competitive examinations, leadership qualities, personality development, to conduct job fair and conferences; through interactive class discussions, writing assignments, fieldwork and semester exams. Teachers and students alike study and research how material, philosophic and quotidian structures shape human societies at different junctures of time.
