Ancient India by Upinder Singh Pdf

In Ancient India: Culture of Contradictions, one of India's most distinguished historians takes readers on an exhilarating voyage of discovery into the distant past. 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. Beautifully written, deeply original, and profusely illustrated with masterpieces of ancient, medieval, and modern art, the book brings to life the rich complexity of ancient India and its connections with the present in a vivid and compelling manner.

Encyclopaedia of Classical Indian Sciences by Helaine Selin,R. Narasimha Pdf

India was a major power during ancient and medieval times. But very little is known about its scientific and technological achievements, and the contributions that were very influentia1 to human civilization. India had the highest standards of living; it introduced math (including the number zero) to the world, along with many other inventions that date back more than 4,000 years. India's many contributions (including brick technology, Ayurvedic medicine, yoga, and the first medical school) were the inspiration for this well-balanced encyclopedia, which seeks to reintroduce classical Indian sciences to scholars and others. This volume offers alphabetically arranged entries, covering agriculture, algebra, arithmetic, astrology, astronomy, calculus, decimal rotation, geography, geometry, mathematics, medicine, military technology, physics, textiles, weights and measures, yoga, zero, and more. They represent the work of scholars from many countries. Additionally, biographies of many well-known ancient Indian scientists are included.

An Encyclopaedia of Indian Archaeology by A. Ghosh Pdf

This encyclopedia was initiated to accomplish the ambitious task of presenting the findings of the last 150 years of Indian archaeology in a single compendium. More than 100 scholars were selected to contribute essays dealing with the prehistory, protohistory, & the ancient historical period up to the 12th century. Volume 1 is organized into 20 subject chapters including dating, pottery, rock art, settlements, technology, cultures, etc. A third of this volume is devoted to the chapter on cultures, which are defined & named basically by time periods, e.g., Mesolithic, Neolithic, Iron Age, etc. Volume 1 is copiously indexed & extensive bibliographic references are provided at the ends of sections within the chapters. Volume 2 is a gazetteer of known & excavated sites arranged alphabetically; extensive treatment is given to large & important sites. Each volume makes references to appropriate entries in the other. Although the introduction mentions the general reader, the encyclopedia is written by archaeologists & primarily for archaeologists; one needs a good background in archaeology to find it useful. The entries provide highly detailed & specific information. Entries are well written & this will remain the most authoritative reference work in its area for years. A must acquisition for graduate & research libraries with collections in this field.--C. J. Busick, University of Colorado.
