Rajmahal (Large Print 16pt) by Kamalini Sengupta Pdf

Marriages, affairs, suicides, duplicitous relations, second chances, murder, madness, and true love - Rajmahal is a beautifully crafted tale of families brought together in an unusual Bengali house over a century of turbulent changes. Within the walls of this stately home, a melting pot of tenants, alive and dead, new generations struggle to come to grips with the social, economic, and intellectual forces working in India as it moves from the British Raj to independence. Their intertwined fortunes and personal battles become a mirror of the struggle for possession of the country's future.

The Rise of Islam and the Bengal Frontier, 1204-1760 by Richard M. Eaton Pdf

In all of the South Asian subcontinent, Bengal was the region most receptive to the Islamic faith. This area today is home to the world's second-largest Muslim ethnic population. How and why did such a large Muslim population emerge there? And how does such a religious conversion take place? Richard Eaton uses archaeological evidence, monuments, narrative histories, poetry, and Mughal administrative documents to trace the long historical encounter between Islamic and Indic civilizations. Moving from the year 1204, when Persianized Turks from North India annexed the former Hindu states of the lower Ganges delta, to 1760, when the British East India Company rose to political dominance there, Eaton explores these moving frontiers, focusing especially on agrarian growth and religious change.

Streusand also places Mughal institutions and practices in their political and cultural contexts to explain how the Mughal ruling class coalesced from heterogeneous groups that retained their own identities.

Aryan and Non-Aryan in India by Madhav M. Deshpande,Peter Edwin Hook,Peter E. Hook Pdf

The history and mechanisms of the convergence of ancient Aryan and non-Aryan cultures has been a subject of continuing fascination in many fields of Indology. The contributions to Aryan and Non-Aryan in India are the fruit of a conference on that topic held in December 1976 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, under the auspices of the Center for South and Southeast Asian Studies. The express object of the conference was to examine the latest findings from a variety of disciplines as they relate to the formation and integration of a unified Indian culture from many disparate cultural and ethnic elements.

Mughal Relations with the Indian Ruling Elite by Iqtidar Husain Siddiqi Pdf

Description: This book has two parts, the King and the Ruling Elite and Persian Sources in translation. The first part rests all types of sources: narrative, numismatic, epigraphic, and literary. It includes a reappraisal, based on neglected evidence, of the state policies and administrative measures of the Mughal emperors. The use of literary materials helps to correct the views of official historians like Abul Fazl on the mature of Mughal rule in India and the opposition to it. The second part contains a critical survey of the Persian sources on the Afghan dynasties in India and an English translation of a portion of the Afsanah-i-Shahan of Shaykh Kabir Batini. This excerpt provides new information on the Karrani rule in Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. It also gives vital insights into cultural life and the state role in it. An immense advance on existing scholarship, this book gives a new understanding of the formation and nature of Mughal rule.

Hindu Places of Pilgrimage in India by Surinder M. Bhardwaj Pdf

"Dr. Bhardwaj's in-depth study of the various aspects of the institution of pilgrimage shows that instead of being a simple practice it has been a gigantic phenomenon affecting all aspects of Indian life. . . integrating diverse forces, various cults, and numerous traditions over the ages."--Asian Student "This is the best general survey of a major religion's total pilgrimage system and the best intensive investigation of one of its subsystems. . . . Dr. Bhardwaj's book is an important step towards the recognition of a social phenomenon which has for millennia played a crucial role in the integration of religions, nationalities, and international communities. And, not least importantly, it is highly readable."--Journal of the American Academy of Religion "Detailed, accurate, and generally informative; he has succeeded in tracing, for the first time, the relationship of the rank-order or 'level' of a sacred place. . . to its degree of sanctity, type of deity, and caste and motivation of the pilgrim. . . .The implications of Mr. Bhardwaj's study are profound and necessary to the understanding of Indian religion. . . it is fascinating."--Times Literary Supplement "Here is a fine example of what the geographic study of India needs: disciplined work that shows full awareness of Indian cultural meanings. . . .it sets a worth standard."--Professional Geographer
