Book Synopsis The Social History of Kamarupa (3 Vols Set) by : Nagendra Nath Vasu
Download or read book The Social History of Kamarupa (3 Vols Set) written by Nagendra Nath Vasu and published by . This book was released on 1986-01-01 with total page 834 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume I : A brief history of Kamarupa in the pre-historic age as well as of the period from the third to the fourteenth century of Christian era. Attempt has been made to show from many ancient books what came of civilisation. Kamarupa had reached long before the age of the Mahabharata. The pains or the phoenicians, described in the Vedas as an ancient race of traders whom the vedic Aryans hated and regarded them as their rivals. The pains settled down on the eastern borders of India after they had been expelled from the western part of the country by their more powerful opponents, the Aryans. From the Lohita Sagara (Red Sea), how they sailed on board their sea-going vessels to a kingdom on the Asia Minor has been discussed in this volume. The people that civilised the eastern parts of Europe through their commercial enterprise and centuries-long cultural traditions. The Assyrian influence commenced in Kamarupa more than 4,500 years before the Christian era. The Mlechchha rule lasted in this country up to 11th century a.d. The three groups of Brahmanas' Yajurvedi, Samvedi and Rigvedi living in Kamarupa, had 26 Gotras. But no traces could be found of the Samvedi and Rigvedic Brahmanas in Kamarupa. After the extinction of the Mlechchha rule, Kayasthas dominated the history of Kamarupa. The Kayastha rule lasted here for about 200 years. Volume II: Deals primarily with the history of the Baro-Bhuiyas in Assam, their rise and downfall, and about the repeated invasion of the Muhammadans which put the country into chaos and confusion. The condition thus created cleared the way for the downfall of the Baro-Bhuiyas and gave rise to a few petty kingdoms. In the eastern Assam, the Kayastha Adi-Bhuiyas rose to power; in central Assam the Desa established themselves and in Kamta or western Kamarupa the Darlubhanarayan, carved out a Kingdom. One noteworthy feature of the book is that in the appendix the author has given exhaustive genealogical tables of the Baro-Bhuiyas and the leaders of various sects particularly the Vaisnavas. These tables which run into 83 page are very useful and informative for all type of readers, scholars and laymen alike. Volume III: Narrates the story of the influence of the king of Kamarupa over the people whom they conquered. The ancient kings of Kamarupa ruled over a large area. Their empire included besides Kamarupa, Srihatta and Vanga the whole of Utkala as well. The influence of the Rajas of Kamarupa could be seen ``from the coast of Pacific in the East to the boundry of Magadha on West and from the foot of the Himalayas on the North to Ganjam in the Madras Presidency in the South.'' This became possible because of the migration of the adventurous Brahmanas to distant places. The Brahmanas migrated from the Kamarupa, Srihatta or Vanga to distant places carried with them the customs, manner and ideals of Brahmanism, traces of which can still be seen in these areas. This migration of the Brahmanas started with the advent of Bhauma dynasty. The protegee of the Bhauma's the Nagara Brahmanas went to different places and spread their literature, manners and customs. Their influence continued till the advent of the Muslims. With the advent of the Muslims the manners and customs of the Bhauma period became almost extinct in Bengal but not in Kamarupa or in Utkala which can still be seen even today. The author has tried to present in this volume a picture of the happiest harmony which once prevailed between the Kamarupa and the countries they ruled particularly Utkala.
Book Synopsis Approaches to History by : Sabyasachi Bhattacharya
Download or read book Approaches to History written by Sabyasachi Bhattacharya and published by Primus Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History as a social science is arguably more self-reflective than associated disciplines in that family. Other social scientists seem to see little reason to look beyond the paradigm they are developing in the present times. Historians on the other hand, tend to depend on the cumulative process of the development of their craft and the fund of accumulated knowledge. Yet, while this is acknowledged in the practice of research, Historiography in itself as a subject of study has rarely found its place in the syllabi of Indian universities. Knowledge of Historiography is taken for granted when a scholar plunges into research. In an attempt to address this lacuna, the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR) has planned a series of volumes on Historiography comprising articles by subject specialists commissioned by the ICHR. The first volume in the series, Approaches to History: Essays in Indian Historiography brings to the readers the first fruits of that endeavour. While the essays encompass areas of research presently at the frontiers of new research, scholars will also find the bibliographies accompanying the essays of significant appeal.

Book Synopsis Northeast India Through the Ages by : Rituparna Bhattacharyya
Download or read book Northeast India Through the Ages written by Rituparna Bhattacharyya and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the rich pre-history, history, and oral history of the northeast region of India––a land-locked region that is home to over 350 ethnolinguistic communities. Despite its uniqueness and diversity, little is known to the outside world. The book studies the vibrant and diverse socio-political and cultural history of this region through a transdisciplinary perspective, covering a wide range of topics such as the pre-history, medieval and colonial histories of Assam, the geopolitics of the creation of independent states from undivided Assam, oral narratives from Manipur, prehistoric cultures of Meghalaya, the Naga National Movement, Sikkim’s Namgyal dynasty, and Tripura’s transition from monarchy to democracy. It also discusses the invaluable contributions made by Professor Mohammad Taher (1931–2015), who laid the foundation of geography in Northeast India. A compelling exploration of this geo-politically contested space, this volume will be of interest to students and researchers of anthropology, archaeology, history, human geography, South Asian studies, and minority studies.

Book Synopsis Northeast India and India's Act East Policy by : M. Amarjeet Singh
Download or read book Northeast India and India's Act East Policy written by M. Amarjeet Singh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-05 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an understanding of the expectations and challenges of Northeast India in the context of India's Act East policy. It critically examines how the policy is being pursued by the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government and analyses its relevance from local perspectives. Contributors to the book provide an examination of the differences between Look East and Act East policy and explanations of the expectations of India's neighboring countries, particularly Myanmar, towards Northeast India. They ask the following questions: a) What is to be done to integrate India’s Northeast region meaningfully into the Act East policy? What is the motive of linking this policy with these states? How is this policy received by the local communities? b) What are the challenges of the Northeast region? What are their needs and priorities? How can these states showcase their potentials to Southeast Asia and East Asia? c) What is the significance of the changes from Look to Act East Policy? Has the regime change affected the continuity in the policy? What are the short- and long-term goals? d) What are the expectations of Southeast Asia and East Asia? By addressing these questions, they bridge the knowledge gaps that exist in the understating of the the Northeast region of India vis-à-vis the Act East policy. The first book to combine a balanced view of India's Act East policy and Northeast India, it will be of interest to policy makers and academics in the fields of Development Studies, International Relations, Northeast India and South Asian Politics.

Before mentioning about Mahaveer Chilarai, it would be worthy to mention that Maharaj Viswa Singha, who rose from the position of cow-hard king to that of a very powerful monarch of Kamrupa-Kamata and the founder of the Koch Kingdom, was a great and benevolent king. He was known as a great warrior, a superb organizer of people, a just and efficient ruler, extraordinarily courageous, highly religious, tolerant in attitudes, and undoubtedly adventurous with sky rocketing ambitions. His children in general, Naranarayan and Chilarai in particular must have genetically inherited all the great qualities of their father, importantly aggressive personality, organizing and leadership qualities and there of a nation builder. The qualities as part of teaching vis-à-vis learning were-art of warfare, wrestling, study of the sastras, weaponry, horse-riding and fighting from horse-back and particularly attacking the enemy with swords & shields, spears, bows & arrows, fire-arms etc. Once Nara Singha, one of the sons of Viswa Singha, succeeded the throne after the death of Viswa Singha without following norms as set by his father. Naranarayan and Chilarai removed him from the throne and further entered Nepal to fetch Nara Singha who fled to Nepal. In Nepal, the king of Nepal honored both Naranarayan and Chilarai. As “Hanuman Danda” and Druga murti as the sacred deity of Koch kingdom also recovered from Narasimha by Chilarai with delicate approach. Further, the duo brother (Naranarayan and Chilarai) continued to extend their kingdom with massive platoon of soldiers little over 6 lakhs with Bhutiya, Daflas, and Bhuyan joined as one force.
