How do academics put up with articles about them which are unreferenced. They wouldn't allow their students to create work like this Victuallers (talk) 19:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Sumit Sarkar's major academic work includes his Ph.D. thesis, The Swadeshi Movement in Bengal: 1903-1908, People's Publishing House,  New Delhi, 1973; and the immenasely popular textbook, Modern India 1885-1947, MacMillan, 1983 and numerous reprints as well as translations into many Indian languages. Sarkar is one of the leading Marxist historians of India, and in writing Social History, he has engaged in sustained polemics with what he feels are the post-modernist errors of the subaltern Studies School from a Marxist standpoint (which also makes him different from a number of other big names in indian Marxist historiography, who have chosen to refuse to seriously engage with the subaltern studies project).
