Advanced Study in the History of Modern India 1707-1813 by Jaswant Lal Mehta Pdf
An analytical and critical account of the political history of early modern India from 1707 to 1813. The narrative shatters the contention of contemporary European writers that it was 'the dark age' of Indian history, characterised by 'political anarchy and misgovernment', until the British brought it under their sway. The main thesis of the author is that the period was marked by two distinct phases; the first phase, which lasted from 1707 to 1760, saw the rapid disintegration of the Mughal power and its replacement by the Maratha hegemony. Meanwhile, the English traders turned colonialists, after consolidating their hold along the Indian seacoasts and conquest of 'Carnatic' and Bengal, challenged the Maratha hegemony. The second phase of developments was thus marked by the struggle for supremacy between these two powers. The author makes use of contemporary English and Marathi sources and the intensive researches of modern historians to portray a compact picture of their findings in the form of a text book for the benefit of the degree students. Historical facts are reinterpreted through illuminating expositions, refreshing characterisation of historic personalities, and objective assessment of events and movements. Together with maps, a select bibliography, glossary and an elaborate index, the volume makes a rich contribution to the advancement of modern historical literature.

BUNDI : A Historical Odyssey by DR. ARVIND KUMAR SAXENA,DR. NEHA PRADHAN Pdf
The early accounts describe Bundi as originally named Pariyatra and Vrindavati respectively. Its hinduly area was termed as Prakatpur. Over time, it came to be known as Bunda Ka Nal. Jaita the last Meena chieftain, ruled until Rao Deva conquered the territory on 24th June 1341 A.D. Rao Deva and his successors established the city of Bundi at the heart of Bunda Ka Nal, and renamed the region as Harauti, signifying the abode of Haras. Eventually, the Haras expanded their domain across the Chambal river, encompassing present-day districts of Kota and Baran. While the entire reign under Haras became known as Harauti, their rulers retained the title of Rao of Bundi. During their rule, Kota was established as a separate Hara state on 21st December 1631 A.D. Nevertheless, the combined region of Bundi and Kota continued to be referred to as Harauti. This work is a monograph to stratise the conseptulized and age old inter operative multipluralstic cultural and political crescendo which transidendet through ages. As Bundi zone irrupted in history as early as mesoprotozoic period (1.5 crore BC-1 crore BC), an elevating the Aravali hills, audiotizing the serene sound of fountains, rivers, streamlets, beautified with thick forestry, rich with wild animals and unified in religious based ideologicentric academia. Despite the existence of ample Hindi literature on Bundi, there was still a need for an English edition, especially in the era of globalization when Bundi has become a prominent tourist destination. We have diligently examined literary, archival, archealogical, spectacularly, geographical, geopolitical, numismatic, thermological, carbondatist and anthropological evidences to find the insightfulness of Bundi. This efforts presents Bundi as a cultural state having the profound implicit character to reflect doctor S. Radhakrishna’s definition “History is the memory of a Nations.” Conductively it combines it’s past with its present palladium of culture also.
Premchand is India . . . If you haven’t read Premchand, you have missed out on a lot’ —The Hindu Considered one of the greatest fiction writers in Hindi, Munshi Premchand (1880–1936) wrote over three hundred short stories, a dozen novels and two plays over a prolific career spanning three decades. Though best known for his stories exposing the horrors of poverty and social injustice, he wrote on a variety of themes with equal facility—romance, satire, social dramas, nationalist tales, and yarns steeped in folklore. The Co-wife and Other Stories brings together twenty classic tales of Premchand which provide a glimpse of the author’s extraordinary range and diversity. While some cast a harrowing look at poverty, reflecting Premchand’s sympathy with the underdog, others expose human foibles without being judgmental and tackle gender politics in a humorous and ironic manner. This collection also includes an imaginative foray into historical fiction, a nostalgic look at childhood, a comic exploration of the theme of women’s autonomy, and stories that reveal the writer’s profound empathy with animals. Ruth Vanita’s sensitive translation captures the power and beauty of Premchand’s language, conveying the nuances of the original and bringing to life the author’s inherent humanism.
