DHARAMPAL’S INDIA: INTRODUCTION AND ORIENTATION TO THE WORK OF
SHRI.DHARAMPAL
Background
For the un-initiated, Dharampal is an Gandhian – Historian who has
researched and brought to the notice of the public at large many new
insights and levels of thinking that were neither professed nor
popularised
by the mainstream historians.

His books on Eighteenth Century Indian Science and Technology, Pre-
British
Indian Education System, Panchayat System in the pre-Colonial era and
others
all have brought about a new method of looking at the past of this
country
and at the archival material available with the various archives,
museums
and libraries on India.

It has been his quest to understand the meaning and life of ordinary
people
of this country, their methods of organising their lives and the tools
and
means they adopt in doing so, their customs and culture and their
aspirations, he has travelled a vast research journey mostly alone
and
documenting scraps of material which incidentally has opened a huge
body of
knowledge for the rest of the world. He maintains, that it is the need
to
convince himself of the meaning behind the events in history and
ascertain
and validate the facts that has driven him in his work. That some of
them
have been published and the publications has inspired many individuals
and
launched institutions is a consequence he probably did not  predict
or
prepare for.

eCourse :
The eCourse – DHARAMPAL’S INDIA would highlight his views, work and
interpretation of historical events. Though by no means this would
claim to
be comprehensive, we have designed this course to be an introduction
and
orientation to his larger works.

SAMANVAYA has had the privilege of working with Dharampalji for over 2
years
now.

The course will be limited to few people who are inclined towards
further
learning / work based on this understanding. The course would consist
of
short capsule of materials selected by people who have worked with
Dharampalji; these would be mailed across followed by a discussion on
the
same. If you are interested to register, please mail
samanv…@vsnl.com with
a note on yourself and why you are interested. The course will be for
a
duration of 3 weeks on-line starting late September.
