A memorable inaugural gathering at Jindal Global University marked the launch of the Jindal Society for Modern Indian Histories, followed by a distinguished panel on “Modern Indian History as the Foundation of Democratic and Constitutional Values.” The conversation brought together Kapil Sibal, Shashi Tharoor, and William Dalrymple, with Arup K. Chatterjee moderating the exchange. The session underscored a vital truth. Modern Indian history is not a closed archive, but a living field that continues to shape our constitutional imagination, our democratic institutions, and our public vocabulary. At a time when historical memory is often contested, such conversations remind us that the past remains essential to civic thought and national self-understanding mediated by constitutional integrity.
