itihāsology

In Sanskrit, itihāsa translates to ‘thus, indeed, it was,’ and it is the essence of this word that Itihāsology celebrates through the documentation of India’s varicoloured and multilayered histories. Established in 2019 by Eric Chopra, Itihāsology primarily operates as an educational page on Instagram and is deeply entrenched in India's tangible and intangible histories. Since its inception, Itihāsology has curated a series of informative history-based posts, stories, and reels, all rooted in rigorous research and conveyed in an invigorating and inclusive language. The platform's belief is that nobody should feel ‘out of history,’ and thus, it delves into the lesser-known aspects of the Indian past, exploring stories found in its footnotes. From overarching themes like society, polity, and economy to diverse topics such as histories of art, gender, sexuality, fashion, horror, and more, Itihāsology covers a wide spectrum of subjects.
