India : Brief History of a Civilization by Anonim Pdf
India: A Brief History of a Civilization provides a brief overview of a very long period, allowing students to acquire a mental map of the entire history of Indian civilization in a short book. Most comprehensive histories devote a few chapters to the early history of India and an increasing number of pages to the more recent period, giving an impression that early history is mere background and that Indian civilization finds its fulfillment in the nation-state. Thomas R. Trautmann believes that the deep past lives on and is a valuable resource for understanding the present day and for creating a viable future. The result is a book that is short enough to read in a few sittings, but comprehensive in coverage - 5,000 years of India in brief.
A Rhapsody on India's History - Notes, Essays, and Reflections - Volume I by Pranab Pattanaik Pdf
This unique book explores India's history as seen through the author's eyes as an Odia/Indian and a non-historian history lover of an ancient civilisational land, of which many stories remain to be told. This book is meant for generalist readers and captures a wide diversity of topics. The book doesn't follow a time-sequenced history but picks up a diverse set of themes to provide a wonderful panorama that brings out the multiple facets of India's history. With a compelling set of line drawings, maps, and photographs (both new and old from actual sites, Indian and foreign museums), the book hopes to enrapture the reader, engage all the senses of the reader, and allow for imagination beyond just the written words. The book is meant as something that the readers can return to again and again, to read a story, to look at a map or a photo or just to find an intriguing nugget of information. The author also adds his own reminisces across the various chapters, making it 90% history and 10% memoir. About the Author: The author has always loved history and geography, particularly of Odisha, his home state since his childhood days. He works in investment management and holds a bachelor's degree in engineering and a master's degree in business management. He attributes these two loves to his mother's storytelling about Odisha's history and traditions (and visits to numerous ancient sites of Bhubaneswar and nearby places) when he was a child and his love of geography from an inheritance of a tattered old atlas that his mother had used during her school days. He grew up in Bhubaneswar, Odisha and did his schooling at DM School, Bhubaneswar. He is currently based in Singapore, and this is his first book.
The Culture and Civilisation of Ancient India in HIstorical Outline by D D Kosambi Pdf
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.
A History of the Indian Novel in English by Ulka Anjaria Pdf
A History of the Indian Novel in English traces the development of the Indian novel from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century up until the present day. Beginning with an extensive introduction that charts important theoretical contributions to the field, this History includes extensive essays that shed light on the legacy of English in Indian writing. Organized thematically, these essays examine how English was "made Indian" by writers who used the language to address specifically Indian concerns. Such concerns revolved around the question of what it means to be modern as well as how the novel could be used for anti-colonial activism. By the 1980s, the Indian novel in English was a global phenomenon, and India is now the third largest publisher of English-language books. Written by a host of leading scholars, this History invites readers to question conventional accounts of India's literary history.
