It was nice to interact with young students doing research in History. I found two other interesting things. One, there is a group of Historians in the Fezando that works on gender and all of them get together.There was a lot of discussion as to what they have done with regards to gender history and people were informing the group about activities like organising a Conference, bringing out a Journal , bring people together for a meeting and many other things. In the evening there was a programme where nearly thirty scholars, students sat on stage and showed their books which were released since the last Fezando and then spoke a little about what the books were about and how did they go about researching and writing it.
As a feminist historian working on South Asian history for the past forty years, I went back into the past and started thinking of my various Journeys in to life and through life. This blog would then give a peep into history and the different civilizations, cultures and the people that one comes across in this journey. I do not keep these in chronological order, but the Journey the place becomes the focus.
