Actually I was a student of Economics in Dharwad and came under the influence of such great teachers like Prof. Saletore . I was greatly inspired by the history of Karnataka and by the fact that nobody had undertaken its study on a broad basis. And also tell us something about your approach to history. This is because India's freedom movement was a movement of the common man. Literate, illiterate, rich and poor alike participated in liberating our country.
Many historians only rely on inscriptions and great literary works of the period to write history.
I have found history unfold in most common of the sources like temple newsletters, household documents, and through oral history passed from generation to generation. In my research, I try to find out what causes social change. The circumstances do. Political suppression, economic hardships, or even economic prosperity for that matter, causes the society to change. Great leaders are required to herald those changes, but voluntary participation of common man is the driving force behind dramatic changes.
