India is not a geographic area just perceived through the national boundary of today, the cultural legacy of India and for that matter every nation of world transact the territories from their national boundaries. We in the world today are exploring the indigenous and the migrating trends in the geographic contexts. Where for generations cultures and people kept on migrating to from one region to another and influenced and adopted to the land to which they settled. Simultaneously, the cultures welcoming/confronting the settlers also gained from this cultural fusion and diversified their indigenous traits. Post-nationalism which is a major outcome of post-colonial geopolitics is assertion of that indigenous voice which was forcibly homogenized or sectionalized against its natural state of affairs. The present is voice of the indigenous cultural traits with need redefining narratives. The narratives which originate from their homelands and are actual voices of people, place, and their spaces. The 6th Foundation Day Lecture series of Aurangabad History Society thus, emphasizes on these assertive narratives of Deccan-Aurangabad. Deccan to a large extent remains the idea of indigeneity of India. In India north Indian plains were consistently being invaded and acculturing themselves to the settler cultures. Contrary to it, Deccan was more inclusive and retained its indigeneity through language, culture, religion, and ethnicity. How these traits of Deccan, where earlier narratives define it as Jana and Janapada of Dakshinapatha retained and continued their legacy is what we will try to understand through this lecture series of 2020. We welcome all the dignitaries, panelists, and participants, come join us to know Deccan-Aurangabad more…
