Notes on contributors. This volume collects essays relating to the interface of information communication and technology in India from the early period to the present. The twenty first century is widely recognised as the era of information and communication revolution which in turn has been primarily attributed to the spectacular progress in technology. However such a revolutionary and momentous change has its roots in history culture and the society in which it takes place. The volume meticulously tracks down the process in a multiverse site like India by weaving the past and the present treating them in ruptures as well as continuities. While revealing that technological innovations and practices date back to pre modern times the volume also challenges the conventional wisdom that such interface is a gift of modernity. The contributors to the volume scholars with diverse disciplinary backgrounds offer innovative approaches in re engaging themselves with a theme that is as much a part of our heritage as it is of current relevance. The issues and questions posed here while enriching the understanding of administrators social workers journalists and lay readers will also lead to further academic research. The volume will be essential reading for students and teachers of history mainstream social sciences cultural and gender studies. 298 pp.…
