● Feminist Historiography: The shift in terms of the writing of women’s history began with the
women’s movement of the 1970s which provided the context and impetus for
the emergence of women’s studies in India. Very soon, women’s history
broadened and assumed the more complex shape of gender history. In the
early years, the endeavor was to write a history of women to supplement
the writings of mainstream history. Also, an attempt was made to research
and compile an archive of women’s writing. An important area of research
has been the analysis of the way in which colonial structures, such as the
legal structure affected women’s lives.
Women’s vulnerability due to the denial of ownership of productive resources has been focused on, in the analysis of how progressive laws shaped gender relations. In the colonial period, two works based upon the women’s question in India—The High Caste Hindu Woman (1887) by Pandita Ramabai, and Mother India (1927) by Katherine Mayo—attracted international attention

● Subaltern Approach Historiography: This school of thought began in the early 1980s under the
editorship of Ranajit Guha, as a critique of the existing historiography,
which was faulted for ignoring the voice of the people. Right from the
beginning, subaltern historiography took the position that the entire
tradition of Indian historiography had an elitist bias. For the subaltern
historians, the basic contradiction in Indian society in the colonial
epoch was between the elite, both Indian and foreign,
on the one hand, and the subaltern groups, on the other, and not between
colonialism and the Indian people. However, they do not subscribe to the
Marxist theory of the nature of the exploitation by the nationalist
movement: they point out that the Indian society of the time could not be
seen in terms
of class alone, as capitalism in the country was just nascent at the
time.
Nationalism, say the subalterns, ignored the internal Contradictions within the society. A few historians have of late initiated a new trend, described by its proponents as subaltern, which dismisses all previous
historical writing, including that based on a Marxist perspective, as elite historiography, and claims to replace this old, ‘blinkered’ historiography with what it claims is a new people’s or subaltern approach—Bipan Chandra.
Contradictions within the society as well as what the marginalized represented or had to say. They believe that the Indian people were never united in a common anti-imperialist struggle and that there was no such entity as the Indian national movement. Instead, they assert, there were two distinct
movements or streams: the real anti-imperialist stream of the subalterns and the bogus national movement of the elite. The elite streams, led by the ‘official’ leadership of the Indian National Congress, were little more than a cloak for the struggle for power among the elite.
