The aim of [these collections] of essays...is to promote a systematic and informed discussion of subaltern themes in the field of South Asian studies, and thus help to rectify the elitist bias characteristic of much research and academic work in this particular area. The contributors to [these] volumes of Subaltern Studies focus attention of what Gramsci called the subaltern classes and their condition, and also re-examine well-known events and themes in this new, more rounded perspective. The contributions encompass history, politics, economics and sociology; attitude, ideologies and belief systems. While the range is wide, the essays share a common orientation as well as a concern for careful research and analsysis.
