A dominated culture not only learns to be like the culture that dominates it, it attempts to conceal its own antecedents. In such cultural encounters, amnesia plays a major role in defining the self-perception of cultures. After Amnesia, first published in 1992, offers an incisive analysis of contemporary literary scholarship in Indian languages by demonstrating how modern Indian languages ‘learnt to forget’ that literary criticism had been rejected by them during the post-Sanskrit medieval centuries, and how they have posed before themselves a false choice of intellectual practices rooted in culturally distant Western or Sanskritic traditions. ‘Of Many Heroes'', first published in 1997, is a historiography of literary historiography in India. It presents a wide-spectrum survey of texts on literary history, beginning with the fourth-century Bhartrihari''s Vakyapadiya to the seminal texts produced during the twentieth century. The Reader also includes two new essays—The Being of Bhasha and Countering Violence.
