Nazariyat - Department Journal

Student paper presentations have been a strong   

feature of our Department and has become 

an annual activity since 2010. This has trained 

students to do research and make presentations 

according to protocols of scholarship, while 

understanding that their view may represent only

one of the possible perspectives (nazariyat) on 

the subject of enquiry.

These efforts, with the sustained interest and

support of the Principal, Dr. B.M. Saraf, have

now culminated in a students' journal. The 

Department is pleased to announce the first

issue of Nazariyat, A Journal of the History Society.

The papers presented here were prepared for

student seminars on the themes

'Reading Auto/Biography as a Source of History'

and 'Reading Text, Reading Image'. As will be

apparent, the aim of preparing papers on these

themes was to make students aware that every 

source carries the perspective of its writer/ maker;

the context of its time and the strategic aims 

with which every cultural act is composed.

We hope every student who wrote or heard these

papers became aware that no source may be taken

as a statement of absolute truth.
