Answer:
Subaltern History :- Subaltern is a word used by the British army to denote a subordinate officer, and “subaltern studies” was coined by Indian scholars to describe a variety of approaches to the situation of South Asia, in particular in the colonial and postcolonial era.
Explanation:
It was Antonio Gramsci who considered important that history should also include the bottommost rank of the society.
The Subaltern perspective stands for understanding the society through conditions of subordination of people belonging to the different caste, class, age, gender, race etc. It seeks to present an alternate image of society through the viewpoint of the masses usually unrepresented.
Some Indian historians associated with Subaltern Studies, for example, although deeply influenced by Marxism, also sought to rescue the collective agency of Indian peasants from the category of the “prepolitical” to which they had been assigned by Marxism.
