Summary: This book investigates the millennial history of the Indian subcontinent. Through the various methods adopted, the objects and moments examined, it questions various linguistic, literary and artistic appropriations of the past, to address the conflicting comprehensions of the present and also the figuring/imagining of a possible future. The volume engages with this general cultural condition, in relation both to the subcontinent's current "synchronic" reality and to certain aspects of the culture's underlying diachronic determinations. It also reveals how the multiple heritages are negotiated.
