Day two of the History National seminar at Anand in Gujarat saw many interesting speakers speak on very important issues. I chaired a session which had two eminent speakers. Dr. OmPrakash Pandey a scientist from NAASA gave an interesting paper on the Indian concept of time and compared it to the western notion of time. He drew a lot of evidence from the Vedas as to how we understood time. Dr. Surjeet Jolly looked at the sources of Medieval history and discussed the problems related to them and how we as historians have to be careful while using the sources. A very interesting seminar where, I could meet a lot of scholars of ancient India from different parts of the country.
