Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Foreword. Editor s Preface. 1. Understanding caste through an anthropological lens/Subhadra Mitra Channa. 2. The caste system of ancient India: a study of the literary and epigraphic sources/Rupendra Kumar Chattopadhyay. 3. The village, the city and aspects of rural and urban life in ancient India/Kiran Kumar Thaplyal. 4. Position of women in ancient India: a study of the sources/Aparajita Dasgupta. 5. Imaging women in ancient Indian context/Vijaya Laxmi Singh. 6. Notes on ancient Indian education, state and government and law/Dilip K. Chakrabarti. Index. The human society offers a vast field of study in any context, and for this volume of essays devoted to the study of ancient Indian society we have selected only a few of its aspects. The first essay is an introduction to the modern anthropological studies on caste whereas the second one is a detailed study of how the ancients perceived the caste differences through time and how the complexity of the system was matched even in the ancient context by some of the complexities that one observes today on the ground. The third essay is basically about the rural and urban contexts in which the caste system operated. It offers a generalized picture of the rural and urban societies of ancient India, giving a spatial and social backdrop to the tangible manifestation of the caste system. The position of women in ancient Indian society is then discussed by two scholars, one examining mainly the sources on which our ideas are based, and the second offering the theoretical historical frameworks within which the problem has been generally perceived. The sixth essay outlines the basic shapes of ancient Indian education, state and government, and law. What emerges very clearly is both the logic and stability of the ancient Indian social system with its roots in the concept of Dharma which manifests itself in detail in the Dharmas of the various Varnas and Jatis which have honeycombed this society through the ages.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Foreword. Editors Preface. 1. Post-Mauryan Phase: Northern India till the Kushanas. 2. Post-Mauryan Phase: Deccan and Western India. 3. Northern India, c. AD 300 750. 4. Deccan, South India and Orissa. 5. Coins and Inscriptions. 6. Site Reports. Contributors. Index. It is important to reassess, formulate and develop India's civilizational and cultural imperatives in an increasingly globalised world. The nation s perception of its ancient history plays a major role in this. The present series on the history of ancient India was conceived with this in mind. The aim is to put forward a nationalistic, factual and objective history of the ancient Indian past in eleven volumes. The cobwebs of certain ideas that we have lived with in the past are critically examined and in many cases found wanting and discarded. The present volume, fourth in the series, picks up the thread between the end of the Mauryan dominance and the growth of major regional powers around ad 750. This includes, on the one hand, the phase of the Kushanas who represent in a way the significance of the Oxus-Indus orbit in the course of Indian history and the resurgence of the Gangetic region under the Guptas on the other. We discuss also the development of Sangam literature and the ruling dynasties like Cholas, Cheras and Pandyas. Within this frame there were other political developments, each important in their own domain.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Foreword. Editors Preface. 1. North India. 2. The Deccan And The South. 3. The Road to Muslim Political Power. 4. Coins, Inscriptions, Archaeology. Contributors. Index. It is important to reassess, formulate and develop India's civilizational and cultural imperatives in an increasingly globalised world. The nation s perception of its ancient history plays a major role in this. The present series on the history of ancient India was conceived with this in mind. The aim is to put forward a nationalistic, factual and objective history of the ancient Indian past in eleven volumes. The cobwebs of certain ideas that we have lived with in the past are critically examined and in many cases found wanting and discarded. The present volume, i.e. volume V, deals with the regional developments which have the added dimension of large-scale regional interactions. Each of the regional polities was strong on their own and shows awareness of areas far beyond the usual areas of their interaction. From this point of view, the powers which grew up in the Ganga plains, central India, the northwestern part of India-Afghanistan, east India, the Deccan and the south give the political and administrative history of the land an aura of pan-Indian significance. The different stages through which Islam acquired power in India have been clearly outlined in this volume.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Foreword. Editors Preface. 1. The Vedic texts and related issues. 2. The Buddhist and Jaina texts. 3. Political history and administration till c. 200 BC. 4. Iron age to early history. 5. Inscriptions and coins. 6. The growth of early historic cities and states. 7. Site reports. Contributors. Index. It is important to reassess, formulate and develop India's civilizational and cultural imperatives in an increasingly globalised world. The nation s perception of its ancient history plays a major role in this. The present series on the history of ancient India was conceived with this in mind. The aim is to put forward a nationalistic, factual and objective history of the ancient Indian past in eleven volumes. The cobwebs of certain ideas that we have lived with in the past are critically examined and in many cases found wanting and discarded. The present volume, third in the series, has to begin with the Aryan problem on which scholars have written for close to three centuries. Much of what has been written still clings like mill-stones to our necks, and we have argued why and how we should get rid of the general obsession with this notion. We have denied that the entire corpus of the Vedic literature is anything but an interconnected corpus of Indian texts and has to be viewed thus historically. A scholarly review of the Buddhist and Jaina literature features next with the issues such as the dates of the Buddha and Mahavira. Orthodox political history is introduced with the Mahajanapadas contemporary with the life of the Buddha and Mahavira and the subsequent emergence of Magadha as the leading political power of the country. The beginning and end of the Mauryan power along with the earlier political episodes of the Achaemenid and Greek invasions bring the political history part of the volume to conclusion. Following this, there are chapters on the urbanism, inscriptions and coins of the period and notes on 21 major archaeological sites.
