Book excerpt: Upinder Singh urges us to abandon simplistic stereotypes and instead think of ancient India in terms of the coexistence of five powerful contradictions-between social inequality and promises of universal salvation, the valorization of desire and detachment, goddess worship and misogyny, violence and non-violence, and religious debate and conflict. She does so using a vast array of sources including religious and philosophical texts, epics, poetry, plays, technical treatises, satire, biographies, and inscriptions, as well as the material and aesthetic evidence of archaeology and art from sites across the subcontinent. Singh's scholarly but highly accessible style, clear explanation, and balanced interpretations offer an understanding of the historian's craft and unravel the many threads of what we think of as ancient Indian culture. This is not a dead or forgotten past but one invoked in different contexts even today. Further, in spite of enormous historical changes over the centuries, the contradictions discussed here still remain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays moves the historiography of ancient India in the service of a history of the present. The cultural onslaught of a brahmanical saffron culture within popular discourse, and the fight against entrenched class and caste interests led by women, dalits, and other marginalized groups, frame this battle for 'ancient' India. Through an in-depth analysis of myths and original sources, the author provides novel grounds for contesting the foundations of such charged concepts as 'nation', 'civilization, ' and 'womanly honour'. Reading against the grain of canonical sources, she presents a distinctive reading of lesser known Buddhist Pali texts, the Jataka stories, and even contemporary texts like the TV serials Chanakya and Ramayana, to demonstrate the stratifications in early Indian society. The book brings to light several crucial concepts and categories that make possible a sensitive delineation of social alienation, class antagonism and gendered violence in ancient Indian society. The everyday histories of dasas, karmakaras, 'a'grihinis, bhaktins, and gahapatis provide an understanding of ancient India away from the clichéd invocations of ideal kings, brahmanas, and pativratas.

Download or read book Ashoka in Ancient India written by Nayanjot Lahiri and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the third century BCE, Ashoka ruled an empire encompassing much of modern-day India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. During his reign, Buddhism proliferated across the South Asian subcontinent, and future generations of Asians came to see him as the ideal Buddhist king. Disentangling the threads of Ashoka’s life from the knot of legend that surrounds it, Nayanjot Lahiri presents a vivid biography of this extraordinary Indian emperor and deepens our understanding of a legacy that extends beyond the bounds of Ashoka’s lifetime and dominion. At the center of Lahiri’s account is the complex personality of the Maurya dynasty’s third emperor—a strikingly contemplative monarch, at once ambitious and humane, who introduced a unique style of benevolent governance. Ashoka’s edicts, carved into rock faces and stone pillars, reveal an eloquent ruler who, unusually for the time, wished to communicate directly with his people. The voice he projected was personal, speaking candidly about the watershed events in his life and expressing his regrets as well as his wishes to his subjects. Ashoka’s humanity is conveyed most powerfully in his tale of the Battle of Kalinga. Against all conventions of statecraft, he depicts his victory as a tragedy rather than a triumph—a shattering experience that led him to embrace the Buddha’s teachings. Ashoka in Ancient India breathes new life into a towering figure of the ancient world, one who, in the words of Jawaharlal Nehru, “was greater than any king or emperor.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Attempt Is Made Here To String Together Pieces Of Evidence Collected From Various Sources With A View To Throwing Light On Different Aspects Of Ancient Indian Guilds And Presenting Their Systematic Account. The Region Covered Is Northern India And Western Deccan. The Clubbing Together Of These Two Areas Was Prompted By The Consideration Of Their Close Cultural Affinity And Geographical Proximity. The Choice Of The Period 600 Bc-600 Ad Was Determined On The Grounds That By 600 Bc, The Guilds Had Clearly Emerged And By 600 Ad They Were On The Decline. Evidence From Other Areas And Periods Is At Times Referred To For The Sake Of Comparison And Also For Drawing Inferences.Of The Eight Chapters, The First Five Deal Variously With Nature, Scope, Chronology And Limitations Of The Sources, Meaning Of The Terms Nigama And Sreni; Origin And Development Of Guilds; Their Structure; Characteristic Features And Functions. Then Follow Chapters Dealing With Relationship Between Guilds And Caste And Between Guild And State. In The Last Chapter, There Is A Brief Discussion On The Factors Responsible For The Decline Of The Guilds.Certain Important Aspects Related To Guild Organization, Not Adequately Dealt With Under Chapters, Are Elaborated In Eight Appendices Dealing Variously With Srenibala; Sanskrit Terms Connoting Economic Organizations; Significance Of Number Eighteen Tagged To Guilds; Guild Coins; Guild Seals; Problem Of Two Rates Of Interest Offered By Two Guilds Of The Same Age And Place; Various Aspects Of The Celebrated Silk-Weavers Guild Of Mandasor; And Nature Of Single-Craft Villages Of The Jataka Tales.Reference To The View Of Scholars On Issues Under Discussion Has Been Freely Resorted To. At Times Disagreement With Their View Has Been Expressed And New Interpretations Have Been Offered.

The world in which the tales are set is one which placed a premium upon slickness and guile as aids to success. . . . Merchants, aristocrats, Brahmins, thieves and courtesans mingle with vampires, demi-gods and the hierarchy of heaven in a series of lively or passionate adventures. The sources of the individual stories are clearly indicated; the whole treatment is scholarly without being arid."—The Times Literary Supplement "Fourteen tales from India, newly translated with a terse and vibrant effectiveness. These tales will appeal to any reader who enjoys action, suspense, characterization, and suspension of disbelief in the supernatural."—The Personalist
