India Has A Long Continuous History Extending Over Five Thousand Years. Besides, It Had A Population Which, With The Sole Exception Of China, Is The Largest Single Aggregation Of Humanity In The Whole Course Of World S History. It Has Also Had A Way Of Life And Culture, No Doubt Modified Continuously By Outside Contacts, But Essentially Indian, Based On Doctrines And Ideas Developed Indigenously. This Way Of Life Has Found Noble Expression In Classical And Modern Literature, In Art And Architecture, Which Display And Unbounded Creative Energy And Which Have Had A Lasting Influence On Most Asian Countries, In Philosophies, Religions And Religious Systems Which Continue To Be Vital Forces Even In The World Today, When Civilization Is So Extensive In Space And Time.Such A Culture, Ancient And Persistent, And Variously Adopted In Different Times And Classes, Naturally Develops Complex Forms Of Outward Manifestation Which Baffle The Superficial Intellects Looking For Simple Truths. To Say That Hinduism Has For Centuries Been The Mainstay Of Indian Culture Is Hardly Enough To Explain Its Roots, Since Hinduism Itself Is Nothing Short Of Multiverse, With A Mind-Boggling Range Of Philosophical Systems, Religious Beliefs And Practices, From The Highest Flight Of Metaphysics To The Simplest Folk Cults. And The Outstanding Essentials Of Indian Culture Are The Tradition Of Tolerance, Sense Of Synthesis, Universal Outlook, Respect For The Individual, Emphasis On The Right Conduct, Literary And Artistic Heritage, Social Structure And The Aims Of Life, Attitude Towards The Woman-Hood, Dama, Dana And Daya (Da, Da, Da), Harmony With Nature, Protest Movements Buddhism, Jainism And Bhakti Movements, All Are Judiciously Incorporated In The Present Monograph.

Just a thousand years ago, India was dotted with universities across its length and breadth, where international students flocked to gain credentials in advanced education. This illustrated book describes how these multi-disciplinary centers of learning existed in several forms such as forest universities, brick-and-mortar universities and temple universities. It examines the funding for these citadels of learning and their graduation ceremonies. The process by which India’s ancient systems of education helped to fuel a knowledge revolution around the world with its manuscripts, forming the basis for monographs and academic papers, is explained with references. The marauding incursions by Muslim invaders, which disrupted the idyllic world of university learning in India, followed by European colonization, which led to further erosion and degeneration of India’s traditional learning systems, have been taken up in some detail. Readers will get a snapshot view of India's education system down the ages from ancient to modern times.

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.

"It is being gradually realized today that the present civilization of India is not merely a development of the Aryan culture, as has so far been generally held. Indian culture is a composite product, resulting from the fusion of several cultures, in which the contribution of the Sindhu valley civilization has been significant. The Harappan civilization stood alongside the Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations as the early, advanced civilizations of humankind, during the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods. Initial archeological excavations that took place as late as between 1922-1927 in the region of the Indus valley, have thrown up rich evidence of the existence of the Harappan civilization, but much study still needs to be done to arrive at a clear and scientific understanding of this civilization. The Harappan script has still not been deciphered. This book is a search for and a clarification of the various strands of diverse cultures that have contributed to the emergence of Indian culture."

The author, a historian of repute, confronts important issues of Indian history in this classic work. He raises such questions as “Was there an Aryan Invasion of India in the past?”, “Is the caste system a bane or a boon?”, “Did Indian women enjoy equal rights in ancient times?”, “Was Democracy an alien concept to Vedic Indians?”, “Why Buddhism became extinct in the country of its origin?”, “What is India’s lasting contribution to the field of Science, Mathematics, Astronomy, Medicine, Chemistry, Metallurgy, etc.?”, “Was Indian Culture greatly impacted by foreign religions?”, “How did India influence its neighbouring Eastern and Western countries?”, “Is Sanskrit only an off-shoot of the Indo-European Languages Group?”, “What was the scale of the social, economic and political implosion detonated by two centuries of British Colonial Rule?”. The author has answered the above vexing questions based on an intensive study of Archaeology, Epigraphy, Numismatics, original records in different languages and the travelogues of foreign visitors.(Translator’s Note).
