If we have to evaluate him in one sentence, then it must be said that he is the first and the last Marxist historian of ancient Indian history and is a symbol of the limitations, strengths and deviations of Marxist thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKosambi seems to be very good at formulating theories. These theories have been given to him readymade. For example, 'It is more important to change history than to write it' is a variation of Marx's famous aphorism. If Kosambi really believed in this, he should have entered active politics instead of writing history. History cannot be changed, it can be understood and with that understanding, the future can be shaped. In the absence of this understanding or amidst middle class comforts, he kept using Marxist rhetoric and that too with a skewed understanding of Marxism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aryan Books International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49534775165232,"sku":"AryanBooksInernationalDrg_9788173054341","price":796.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/aryan-books-international-book-default-title-kosambi-from-imagination-to-reality-40172010504496.jpg?v=1775957478","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/kosambi-from-imagination-to-reality","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
