Dr. P. L. Malhotra Memorial Lecture Series - II On 12th February, 2020, the second Dr.

P.L. Malhotra Memorial Lecture

delivered by Professor B. P. Sahu on the

topic " Making of Regions in Indian

History" was an engaging lecture on the

history of Regions and regional histories

as well as cross linkage between the two.

The talk focuses on the shifts in the

historiographic gaze on the concept of

the historical region and its multiple

meanings. It emphasises that the sense of

shared historical tradition and common

culture leading to some kind of felt

community or affiliation in a spatially

distinguishable and culturally

identifiable space evolves historically. Regions emerged as a consequence of the gradual convergence of

historical forces, including language, art and culture. While regions shape and are being continuously

reshaped by the trans-regional/pan-Indian, they are also constituted by the interplay of the sub-regions and

localities. In spite of the different regional traditions and their varying trajectories of transformation;

interactions across regions contributed to the forging of a common pool of ideas, values and symbols that

went beyond the specific regions and was distinctly pan-Indian. The interactions within and between regions

helped in the making of a composite culture.
