Timeline
He is the author of Swadeshi Movement in Bengal, 1903-1908 (1973), Modern India (1989), and Writing Social History (1998), among others.
He was a founding member of the Subaltern Studies Group as well as one of its most important critics.
His maternal uncle was Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis.
He completed his BA (Honours) in history at Presidency College, Calcutta and MA and Ph.D. in the same subject at the University of Calcutta.
He taught for many years as a lecturer at the University of Calcutta, and later as a reader at the University of Burdwan.
He completed his postdoctoral fellowship at Wolfson College, Oxford.
He was professor of history at the University of Delhi.
Sumit Sarkar (born 1939) is one of the foremost historians of modern India.
He contributed a volume to the Towards Freedom project of the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR), publication of which was blocked in 2000 by the ICHR under the influence of then Indian government administered by the Bharatiya Janata Party as alleged by Sarkar.
He was awarded the Rabindra Puraskar literary award for his book Writing Social History by the West Bengal government in 2004.
The publication of the volume was eventually allowed by the Government of India once the Congress party came to power after the general election of 2004.
He returned the award in 2007 in protest against the expulsion of farmers from their land.
He was one of the founding members of the Subaltern Studies Collective, but later distanced himself from the project.
He noted that arguments made in the later issues of the journal as well as in books by Partha Chatterjee blanketly criticized Enlightenment, the nation-state and secularism lined up with indigenist critiques that were at home with the Hindu right.
In his view this error was traceable to a basic confusion in the early project that posed an absolute separation between the elite and subaltern domains.
