This book was released on with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kakatiya kings had ruled the Telugu speaking regions from Warangal as their capital during the period from 1000AD to 1323 AD. During the rule of Ganapathi Deva (1199-1262 AD), Rudrama Devi (1262-1289) and Prathapa Rudra (1289-1323AD), theKakatiya Kingdom emerged as a powerful state and there was all-round development. The rulers and their subordinates had constructed several large irrigational tanks and promoted agriculture. The tanks are still existing in and around Warangal region and providing water to the people for drinking and also for agriculture. There was a brisk internal and foreign trade which led to economic development in the kingdom. The writings of the foreign travellers like Marco Polo (Venice, Italy) are testimony to the prosperity and glory of the Kakatiya Kingdom. The Kakatiya Rulers had patronised scholars and artists and promoted literature and fine arts like music, dance, sculpture art and architecture. Vidyanada, the court poet of PratapaRudra had written Prataparudrayeshobushanam in Sanskrit language. VinukondaVallbamatya had written Kreedabhiramamin Telugu, Palkuriki Somanadha had written Panditaradya Charitra, Kolanuganapathi Deva had written Shivayoga Saramu, Kakatiya Rudra Deva had written Neetisaramu, Baddena’s Neetisara Mukthavali , Jayapa Senani’s Nritya Ratnavali in Sanskrit are very popular writings. The Kakatiya Rulers had constructed several temples and forts etc. The Warangal fort is very famous for its strength, art and architecture during the medieval times. The Temples of Palampeta, Jakaram, Ramanujapuram, Pillalamarri, Nagulapadu, Kusumanchi and several other places are known for their beautiful art, architecture and sculpture. The Ramappa Temple, Thousand Pillar Temple, Swayambhu Temple, Ganapeswara Temple of Kusumanchi, Ghanapur group of Temples of Mulugu region are well known. The sculpture art and architecture of these temples reflect the life and culture, art, crafts, costumes, sports, music and dance forms of their times and are inspiring the present generation. There are several aspects of Bio-Diversity reflected on the temple walls. There are several figures of lions, elephants, wild boars, cow and calf, swans, lotus flowers, creepers, snakes, birds, human figures both male and female etc, on the walls and pillars of the temple complex. They reflect the Bio- Diversity of those times and also the relation of man with the nature. This book is based on my research work under the Ph.D programme. I have undertaken field work and visited all the temples built by the Kakatiyas in the Telangana region. As part of the study, I consulted several Archaeologists, Historians, Writers, who worked on the Kakatiya Temples and Culture. I have also interacted with the local people, who have been living in the surroundings of the temples. I have also collected necessary data from various libraries like Kakatiya University Library, Central Library in Warangal and also Osmania University Library, Abzal Gunz Library, City Library, Srikrishna Devaraya Andhra Bhasha Nilayam, Hyderabad. I would like to acknowledge my debt to my parents Smt. Prameela and Sri Sambaiah (late), who have brought me up to this stage with utmost care and love. I wish to express my gratitude to my Teacher and Research Supervisor Prof. Kokkonda Vijaya Babu, who guided and supported me in bringing out this book. I also thank Smt. Chandra Kala Vijaya Babu and their children, Srimukhi,Karthik and Sai Maduri, Raj Kumar for their encouragement during the course of my research. I am grateful to the Faculty Members of the Department of History, Kakatiya University, Prof. S. Srinath, Prof. T. Manohar, Dr. P. Sadanandam, Dr. T. Dayakar Rao and Dr. M.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book delves into the lives of the Telugus in the 17th and 18th centuries. It highlights the existing social conditions in the region. At the same time it emphasises on certain changes witnessed due to the Muslim rule and the arrival of the traders from European countries. Besides their economic activities, the traders made inroads into the socio - political realm of the region. The Qutb-Shahi dynasty, the short Mughal rule under Aurangazeb, and the subsequent Asaf Jahi rule culminated in the establishment of a distinct Hyderabadi Culture, that is famous for religious tolerance and amalgamation of different cultures, and the emergence of Deccani as a language of the people! The two new religions, Islam and Christanity, created curiosity, conflicts and conversions in the region. The lack of patrons dealt a blow to the Brahmanical religion. Alternative medicinal system of the Islamic world, Unani was introduced. The Europeans introduced western surgery to the Royalty. The book highlights the emergence of a social order with new castes and sub castes, the change in the social hierarchy, the womens position, social reforms, a new dressing style in the upper section of society and the cosmopolitan luxury in the form of furniture, toiletry, jewelry etc.

This book was released on 2008-11-13 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and why people develop, maintain, and change cultural boundaries through time are central issues in the social and behavioral sciences in generaland anthropological archaeology in particular. What factors influence people to imitate or deviate from the behaviors of other group members? How are social group boundaries produced, perpetuated, and altered by the cumulative outcomeof these decisions? Answering these questions is fundamental to understanding cultural persistence and change. The chapters included in this stimulating, multifaceted book address these questions. Working in several subdisciplines, contributors report on research in the areas of cultural boundaries, cultural transmission, and the socially organized nature of learning. Boundaries are found not only within and between the societies in these studies but also within and between the communities of scholars who study them. To break down these boundaries, this volume includes scholars who use multiple theoretical perspectives, including practice theory and evolutionary traditions, which are sometimes complementary and occasionally clashing. Geographic coverage ranges from the indigenous Americas to Africa, the Near East, and South Asia, and the time frame extends from the prehistoric or precontact to colonial periods and up to the ethnographic present. Contributors include leading scholars from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe. Together, they employ archaeological, ethnographic, ethnoarchaeological,experimental, and simulation data to link micro-scale processes of cultural transmission to macro-scale processes of social group boundary formation, continuity, and change.
