Quoted from Sandhy, Jain, The denial of history https://web.archive.org/web/20100925004852/http://bharatvani.org/indology/IrfanHabib-denial.html

“It is inherent in the unity of past and present that Marxist historiography must continuously turn to fresh aspects to explore and re-explore and fresh questions to answer… This examination must cover everything from general principles to specific facts, because both are all the time being brought into question by others. We have to answer them not by denunciation – always a bad counsellor – but careful scrutiny and investigation.”
