Memorandum of Association
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE INDIAN COUNCIL OF HISTORICAL RESEARCH
- The importance of giving a proper direction to historical
research and of encouraging and fostering objective and scientific
writing of history is being increasingly recognized in the country.
The subject gains not only from the point of view of national
integration but also from that of the need to inculcate a healthy
respect for our cultural heritage without encouraging a blind
acceptance of superstition, obscurantism and revivalism.
- It is equally important to promote the application of historical
method to the study of the social sciences and the humanities,
so that an inter-disciplinary approach is achieved in an understanding
of these subjects. The development and adoption of new historical
methods have a bearing not only for the study of history but
in improving and updating techniques and methods of social sciences
and humanities as a whole.
- It was felt that an Indian Council of Historical Research
which would be an autonomous body registered under the Societies
Registration Act would help in achieving these objectives and
in enunciating and implementing a national policy of historical
research. After some preliminary discussion on the subject,
a Working Group was set up in December, 1971 by the Ministry
of Education, to work out the details of such a body, of Prof.
R.S Sharma, Patna University (Chairman); Prof.Satish Chandra,
Jawaharlal Nehru University; Prof. Tapan Raychaudhuri, Delhi
University; Dr. S.N. Prasad, Director, National Archives; Shri
J. Veeraraghavan, Director (Internal Finance), Ministry of Education
and Social Welfare; and Smt. S. Doraiswami, Deputy Education
Adviser, Ministry of Education and Social Welfare.
- The objectives of this new body would be to:
- Bring historians together and provide a forum for exchange
of views between them;
- Give a national direction to an objective and rational presentation
and interpretation of history;
- Promote, accelerate and coordinate research in history with
special emphasis on areas which have not received adequate attention
so far;
- Promote a coordinated and balanced distribution of research
effort over different areas;
- Elicit support and recognition for historical research from
all concerned and ensure the necessary dissemination and use
of results.
- The frame-work within which the new body would function will
be as follows:
(a) The Indian Council of Historical Research should be small
sized body consisting mainly of eminent historians of the country.
(b) The proposed Council would cover History in its broader
aspect including the History of Art, Literature and Philosophy
and allied subjects such as archaeology, numismatics, epigraphy
and the historical study of manuscripts. If would promote the
study of any subject with a strong historical bias and content.
(c) It would be necessary to ensure that the new council does
not duplicate the functions at present carried out by the Indian
Historical Records Commission.
(d) Several historical projects with a strong social and economic
content are at present being assisted by the Indian Council
of Social Science Research. The establishment of the Indian
Council of Historical Research should not deprive these projects
of this assistance nor should similar projects be excluded from
the preview of the I.C.S.S.R. In future.
(e) The Member Secretary of the I.C.S.S.R. should be invited
to attend the meetings of the I.C.H.R. on a reciprocal basis
in order to maintain coordination between two.
The Memorandum of Association and the Rules of the Indian Council
of Historical Research prepared on the basis of the above framework
and as approved and registered are given in the pages that follow.
