Time as a Metaphor of History: The Krishna Bharadwaj Memorial Lecture
Oxford University Press India (1995)
Abstract
Romila Thapar examines the link between time and history through the use of cyclic and linear concepts of time. While the former occurs in a cosmological context, the latter of found in familiar historical forms. The author argues for the existence of historical consciousness in early India, on the evidence of early texts.My notes
