Abstract: Histories do need revision from time to time. Newly unearthed materials bring up new facts, cast new light, and call for new interpretations. But when history is simplified to suit one's agenda or to score points it becomes a dangerous game. Gail Omvedt, I am afraid, is simplifying history when she begins her “Reflections on the World Bank” by looking at the origins of the Bulletin of Concerned Asian Scholars (BCAS).
