Book Synopsis The Culture and Civilisation of Ancient India in HIstorical Outline by : D D Kosambi
Download or read book The Culture and Civilisation of Ancient India in HIstorical Outline written by D D Kosambi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1965, The Culture and Civilisation of Ancient India in Historical Outline is a strikingly original work, the first real cultural history of India. The main features of the Indian character are traced back into remote antiquity as the natural outgrowth of historical process. Did the change from food gathering and the pastoral life to agriculture make new religions necessary? Why did the Indian cities vanish with hardly a trace and leave no memory? Who were the Aryans – if any? Why should Buddhism, Jainism, and so many other sects of the same type come into being at one time and in the same region? How could Buddhism spread over so large a part of Asia while dying out completely in the land of its origin? What caused the rise and collapse of the Magadhan empire; was the Gupta empire fundamentally different from its great predecessor, or just one more ‘oriental despotism’? These are some of the many questions handled with great insight, yet in the simplest terms, in this stimulating work. This book will be of interest to students of history, sociology, archaeology, anthropology, cultural studies, South Asian studies and ethnic studies.

Download or read book India Unbound written by Gurcharan Das and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2002-04-09 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India today is a vibrant free-market democracy, a nation well on its way to overcoming decades of widespread poverty. The nation’s rise is one of the great international stories of the late twentieth century, and in India Unbound the acclaimed columnist Gurcharan Das offers a sweeping economic history of India from independence to the new millennium. Das shows how India’s policies after 1947 condemned the nation to a hobbled economy until 1991, when the government instituted sweeping reforms that paved the way for extraordinary growth. Das traces these developments and tells the stories of the major players from Nehru through today. As the former CEO of Proctor & Gamble India, Das offers a unique insider’s perspective and he deftly interweaves memoir with history, creating a book that is at once vigorously analytical and vividly written. Impassioned, erudite, and eminently readable, India Unbound is a must for anyone interested in the global economy and its future.
Book Synopsis Ancient India by : Dwijendra Narayan Jha
Download or read book Ancient India written by Dwijendra Narayan Jha and published by Manohar Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a substantially modified and enlarged version of the author's "Ancient India: An Introductory Outline" (Delhi, 1977) and surveys the major developments in India's social, economic and cultural history up to the end of the ancient period and the beginning of the early middle ages and explains the rise and growth of states with reference to their material basis. Special attention has been paid to the elements of change and continuity in society, economy and culture, and to the changing forms of exploitation and consequent social tensions as well as to the role of religion and superstition in society. The book demolishes the popular historiographical stereotypes created by the Hindu-chauvinist communal writings. It also gives the lie to the view that the Indian society has been stagnant and changeless -- a view which was propagated by Western scholars in the heyday of British imperialism and continues to be peddled ingeniously in our own times. The assassination of Mahatma Gandhi ... and the demolition of the Baburi Masjid are two ... unforgettable milestones in the unfolding of the backward-looking Hindu revivalist and fascist politics of contemporary India. Since both Harappa and Mohenjodaro are situated now in Pakistan, the Hindu revivalists are busy locating the epicentre of the Harappan culture in the elusive Saraswati valley.

Book Synopsis The Organization of Ancient Economies by : Kenneth Hirth
Download or read book The Organization of Ancient Economies written by Kenneth Hirth and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Kenneth Hirth provides a comparative view of the organization of ancient and premodern society and economy. Hirth establishes that humans adapted to their environments, not as individuals but in the social groups where they lived and worked out the details of their livelihoods. He explores the variation in economic organization used by simple and complex societies to procure, produce, and distribute resources required by both individual households and the social and political institutions that they supported. Drawing on a wealth of archaeological, historic, and ethnographic information, he develops and applies an analytical framework for studying ancient societies that range from the hunting and gathering groups of native North America, to the large state societies of both the New and Old Worlds. Hirth demonstrates that despite differences in transportation and communication technologies, the economic organization of ancient and modern societies are not as different as we sometimes think.

Book Synopsis IIMA - Economic Sutra by : Satish Y. Deodhar
Download or read book IIMA - Economic Sutra written by Satish Y. Deodhar and published by Penguin Random House India Private Limited. This book was released on 2024-03-21 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A general perception exists that ancient Indian literature on economic matters is fatalistic and an admixture of sacred and secular thoughts. Economic Sutra provides a comprehensive perspective on the elements of Indian economic thought leading up to and after the Arthashastra. Economic Sutra is a perception-correction initiative to distil the Indian mind in the realm of economic thoughts and behaviour as brought out by the ancient Indian authors. It highlights the broader spread of economic ideas both prior to and sometime after Kautilya, giving insights into the purpose, actions and vision of our forefathers.
Book Synopsis Revisiting the Political Thought of Ancient India by : Ashok S. Chousalkar
Download or read book Revisiting the Political Thought of Ancient India written by Ashok S. Chousalkar and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revisiting the Political Thought of Ancient India: Pre-Kautilyan Arthashastra Tradition rediscovers the political ideas of the original and celebrated schools of thought in ancient India—early Arthashastra and Pre-Kautilyan traditions. This book throws light on hitherto not very well-known aspects of political ideas in ancient India, which flourished during the 5th and 4th centuries before Christ. Kautilya’s Arthashastra is a major text on ancient Indian political thought, wherein he cited views of a number of Arthashastra teachers who had written on political science. Unfortunately, their writings are not available today; only their views are found scattered in different texts. This book brings together these views to prepare a coherent account of their political ideas and reconstructs the pre-Kautilyan Arthashastra tradition with the help of available sources.

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.
