The Unquiet Woods
Honestly written !
A subaltern history-peasant movements relating to control and usage of forest and land resources- about Uttarakhand in India. And there's an evident shift in the tone as the author grows in age - from a young man critical of governance , and sentimental about the innate wisdom of the peasants to an older person who understands that right and wrong do not belong exclusively to such opposing categories. Bringing out the twentieth anniversary edition has given the book that character - the young man starting off passionately in the mould given to him and the older man concluding it more sedately. And that puts history in perspective. After all, a historian's job is about looking back and scanning the scenario. About lying down as one ages, and chewing the cud. And trying to spell out the 'laws' that , perhaps, govern our past and ,by extension, our future too.
Just trying to state that the facts of the past would reek of banality. And that Ramchandra Guha is a good man. :)
