The IGO World History Group is starting 2025 with a detailed exploration of Indian History, from the earliest archaeological evidence through to the arrival of the British in the form of the East India Company. We plan to take most of the year over this, with monthly meetings and by sharing our ideas on a Padlet.
Our format for this year will be a series of foundation presentations/lectures by Alan Freeland, bimonthly, with the intervening month being for group members to make short contributions on topics around Alan's previous monthly talk. In our first monthly talk, covering the Harappan civilisation and the Vedic period, we have the opportunity to explore further the archaeological discoveries in the Indus Valley and beyond, the Vedic texts, and the origins of Indian religion and civilisation.
The group is still open for new members.
