Telling Lives in India: Biography, Autobiography, and Life History is edited
by David Arnold (professor of South Asian history) and Stuart Blackburn
(research associate), both of the School of Oriental and African Studies

– from India. This volume grew out of the “Life Histories” project established

at SOAS, the London School of Economics, Oxford University, Cambridge

greater recognition of the heterogeneity of human lives and lived ...
