Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Ignorant in India An apology is looked for from people who, not having spent a lifetime in India, nevertheless venture to write a book about it. I offer mine willingly, the more willingly, because I am not guilty, I think, of the usual crime of offering hints to Lieutenant-Governors on how to govern, or even of undertaking, on behalf of people at home, a complete and critical survey of the needs and aspirations of the Bengali. Bather I have erred in not being serious enough, and in failing to make clear how many delightful and intelligent natives I met - not least among them that one who so courteously showed me round the station.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from More About Italy and India As I was at that time quite ignorant con cerning Hinduism and its many gods and god desses it made an impression on my mind which has extended to this day. So, as I have still my old Hindi copy of the book, it has occur red to me that a free translation of it might interest some Canadian friends, helping them to realize something of the depth of ignorance and superstition into which Hinduism has sunk so many of India's people. You may think that some of the talks te corded here are crude and childish, but, in spite of the successful missionary work that has been carried on for the past one hundred years or so, I am convinced that among the villages of India there are many thou sands oi people who are still untouched by the Christian message, and still unreached by the comparative few who are workers in that great harvest field.

When such a remark may be made, nemine contradicente, by a Viceroy of India, there need be no apology for a little book designed to serve as a brief introduction to the study of Indian afihirs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agastya Sen, known to friends by the English name August, is a child of the Indian elite. His friends go to Yale and Harvard. August himself has just landed a prize government job. The job takes him to Madna, “the hottest town in India,” deep in the sticks. There he finds himself surrounded by incompetents and cranks, time wasters, bureaucrats, and crazies. What to do? Get stoned, shirk work, collapse in the heat, stare at the ceiling. Dealing with the locals turns out to be a lot easier for August than living with himself. English, August is a comic masterpiece from contemporary India. Like A Confederacy of Dunces and The Catcher in the Rye, it is both an inspired and hilarious satire and a timeless story of self-discovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From USA TODAY bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones comes a “masterpiece” (Locus Magazine) of a novel about revenge, cultural identity, and the cost of breaking from tradition. Labeled “one of 2020’s buzziest horror novels” (Entertainment Weekly), this is a remarkable horror story that “will give you nightmares—the good kind of course” (BuzzFeed). Seamlessly blending classic horror and a dramatic narrative with sharp social commentary, The Only Good Indians is “a masterpiece. Intimate, devastating, brutal, terrifying, warm, and heartbreaking in the best way” (Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts). This novel follows four American Indian men after a disturbing event from their youth puts them in a desperate struggle for their lives. Tracked by an entity bent on revenge, these childhood friends are helpless as the culture and traditions they left behind catch up to them in violent, vengeful ways.

It may appear almost incredible that we Should have remained ignorant until quite recent times Of the existence of many Of these arts, and of the perfection to which others had been brought among that wonderful people Of the East whom many of us had been in the habit of regarding as little better than barbarians, for getting that they were civilised just as early as were the nations Of Egypt and Persia. The physical features Of their country favoured early civilisation. Great plains, guarded by giant mountains, watered by magnificent rivers, furnished fertile soil from which abundance of food could be secured in a climate favourable to its production. The country was rich in metallic treasures. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This original work focuses on the rational principles of Indian philosophical theory, rather than the mysticism more usually associated with it. Ganeri explores the philosophical projects of a number of major Indian philosophers and looks into the methods of rational inquiry deployed within these projects. In so doing, he illuminates a network of mutual reference, criticism, influence and response, in which reason is used to call itself into question. This fresh perspective on classical Indian thought unravels new philosophical paradigms, and points towards new applications for the concept of reason.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from India at the Death of Akbar: An Economic Study It would be unfair, however, not to add a word of warning for the benefit of any one who may accept this invitation. One of the difficulties surrounding this period is the diversity of language employed by the authorities. I have worked on them in English, French, Latin, Persian and Portuguese, and I have found that translations (where they exist) must be used with caution; they may be sufficiently accurate for all ordinary purposes, and yet miss the technical sense of words in which economists are specially concerned, while even standard dictionaries may fail to indicate the precise shade of meaning intended by a writer of the sixteenth century. It is advisable, therefore, to go to the original text wherever possible, and if I have myself failed to do this in the case of the Italian, Spanish and Russian travellers, I can offer only the plea that I am ignorant of those languages. What I have said regarding translations applies particularly to the English versions of the Ain-z' Ak', in which the technical force of many expressions is lost, and I fear that some knowledge of Persian must be regarded, for the present at least, as indis pensable for the detailed study of this particular period.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient and Medieval India, Vol. 1 My hope and endeavour will be to stimulate a desire for greater knowledge of that wonderful and remark able empire which so many dislike in ignorance. Let us for a moment try to realize the difference which knowledge causes. In familiar language, it may be said to illustrate the old story of Eyes and no Eyes. A botanist goes, and sees at a glance, new vegetable forms, and rare owers. The naturalist is no less delighted with the bright birds and grotesque insects which his practised eye detects. The artist watches with enthusiasm the peculiar splendour of the sunrise or the sunset, the grand cloud scenery, and the imposing aspect of the cities and temples, forests and rivers. So, also, the observing philosopher, the ethnologist, and the philologist, each finds ample and delightful occupation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on extensive research in Sanskrit sources, Mathematics in India chronicles the development of mathematical techniques and texts in South Asia from antiquity to the early modern period. Kim Plofker reexamines the few facts about Indian mathematics that have become common knowledge--such as the Indian origin of Arabic numerals--and she sets them in a larger textual and cultural framework. The book details aspects of the subject that have been largely passed over in the past, including the relationships between Indian mathematics and astronomy, and their cross-fertilizations with Islamic scientific traditions. Plofker shows that Indian mathematics appears not as a disconnected set of discoveries, but as a lively, diverse, yet strongly unified discipline, intimately linked to other Indian forms of learning. Far more than in other areas of the history of mathematics, the literature on Indian mathematics reveals huge discrepancies between what researchers generally agree on and what general readers pick up from popular ideas. This book explains with candor the chief controversies causing these discrepancies--both the flaws in many popular claims, and the uncertainties underlying many scholarly conclusions. Supplementing the main narrative are biographical resources for dozens of Indian mathematicians; a guide to key features of Sanskrit for the non-Indologist; and illustrations of manuscripts, inscriptions, and artifacts. Mathematics in India provides a rich and complex understanding of the Indian mathematical tradition. **Author's note: The concept of "computational positivism" in Indian mathematical science, mentioned on p. 120, is due to Prof. Roddam Narasimha and is explored in more detail in some of his works, including "The Indian half of Needham's question: some thoughts on axioms, models, algorithms, and computational positivism" (Interdisciplinary Science Reviews 28, 2003, 1-13).

They felt so much satisfaction at the accounts which I gave them, that they repeatedly urged me to commit the whole to paper; and their affectionate partiality induced them to suppose, that the Narrative would be, not only agreeable to them, but interesting to the Public. In complying with their solicitations, I am far from being confident that the success of my efforts will justify their hopes: I trust, however, that too much will not be expected, in regard to literary composition, from a person whose life has been principally devoted to the duties of a Soldier and the service of his Country - and that a scrupulous adherence to Truth will compensate for many blemishes in style and arrangement.
