Question
Explain the following statement with its reason.
Writing of the regional history received a momentum.
Solution
- Nationalistic Historiography, which includes the writings of Indian historians trained in the British educational system, tried to restore the pride in the ancient glory of India and self-esteem of the Indian readers.
- Vishnushastri Chiplunkar, who criticised the prejudiced history of ancient India written by British Officers, inspired the nationalistic writings in Maharashtra.
- Justice Ranade wrote the book, ‘The Rise of Maratha Power’, which explained the background of the rise of Maratha empire.
- Thus, nationalistic historiography provided a momentum to the writing of regional histories, which drew the attention of historians to the geographic conditions and history of south Indian regions.

Sohagaura Copper-plate The copper-plate was found at Sohagaura (District Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh). It is supposed to be from the Mauryan period. The inscription on it is in Brahmi script. The symbols known as ‘Tree-in-railing’ and ‘Mountain’ at the beginning of the inscription also occur on punch marked coins. Another symbol which looks like a structure erected on four pilars is supposed to be indicative of a granary. The inscription records a royal order that the grains stored in the granary should be distributed carefully. It is supposed to be suggestive of precautions taken in the times of a famine. |
