Download or read book From Obscurity to Light written by Devika Rangachari and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to reintegrate women into the socio-political milieu of early medieval Orissa. Its sources are inscriptions, mostly Sanskrit, that date from the seventh century to the end of the reign of the Imperial Ganga ruler, Anantavarman Codagangadeva (CE 1078-1147). The evidence indicates that royal and non-royal women had varying but undeniably important roles to play in the socio-political fabric of this prominent regional entity. The Bhauma-Kara dynasty (c. mid-eighth/ninth-late tenth century) that witnessed the rule of six women, four of them in succession, is a case in point. In addition, the palpable presence of several other royal and non-royal women is consistently documented in the epigraphic record. This is an aspect that has received very little attention in secondary works, thereby rendering this study a pioneering one. The work follows on from Rangachari’s earlier Invisible Women, Visible Histories: Gender, Polity and Society in North India (7th to 12th century ad), which had focused on important gendered aspects of early medieval north India through an analysis of literary and epigraphic sources of Kashmir, Kanauj, Bengal and Bihar. The invisibilization of women, whereby their presence is routinely ignored or trivialized, was, similarly, its underlying essence.

Download or read book Perspectives on Orissa written by Prafulla Kumar Mohapatra and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrations: 11 B/w Illustrations Description: In keeping with the prime objective of the Centre for Studies in Civilizations, the present volume focuses on Orissa's specific contributions to the multi-cultural, pluralistic spectrum of Indian civilization. In this volume the best brains of Orissa have exposed and analysed the cultural and intellectual history of this ancient state that is rich with exquisite art and architecture of temples and monuments, profound philosophical and religious ideologies, copious literary resources and cultural ambience as well as some unique scientific outlook and technological innovations; music and performing arts like yatra and the dances characteristic of this region form equally significant and typical aspects of this history. In the planning of this volume, meticulous care has been taken to do justice to all these aspects of Orissa's hoary tradition. Accordingly the authors have made extensive coverage of all these diverse areas of the Oriya culture and civilization and have brought to light their linkage to, and influence on, the national mainstream. Also to this purpose they have presented their studies on almost all the prominent thinkers and writers of Orissa--from the ancient through the medieval up to the modern period. The result has been richly rewarding and illuminating. Although the essays have been meticulously edited, the authors' views and judgements on their respective areas of study have been given full freedom in order that they may come up with their best. The book will serve as a useful source material for learning and research on Orissa and its cultural-intellectual tradition.
