What is Subaltern Historiography? Explained by Nikhil Sheth sir in History Optional Foundation 2027

Who really drives history — the prominent leaders at the top, or the silent, neglected masses at the margins? Nikhil Sir breaks down the global context, core tenets, and fatal flaws of the Subaltern School of Historiography. From Antonio Gramsci's coded anti-fascist letters in a Mussolini prison to the psychological fallout of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising on British Marxist intellectuals, this lecture tracks how "History from Below" revolutionized modern Indian historiography. Learn how subaltern scholars like Ranajit Guha and Shahid Amin completely re-interpreted landmark events like the Chauri Chaura incident and the Quit India Movement by giving autonomous agency back to peasants and tribals.
