This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume presents very lively debates amongst great scholars of the old generation e.g., between D.C. Sircar and V.V. Mirashi on the spread of the Saka Era in South India, D.C. Sircar and R.C. Majumdar on the Harsha Era. All the research papers compiled in this volume from the now defunct Journal, Indian Historical Quarterly, (1928-1963) edited by N.N. Law create an impression that all the dates and eras in Indian History are mired in some controversy. But at the same time, they instil in us a sense of humility and gratitude for the painstaking efforts made by scholars of the last century to resolve these controversies. We are simply overwhelmed by their great erudition and originality. We hope, this volume will serve as an inspiration and a model for the future researchers.

Wish you happy reading and best wishes for the examinations. Two words from Author… Don't live in the shadows of people's judgement. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom. Don't let anyone's opinion of which you should be friends or live with, dictate who you will be friends or live with. People will talk. They shall say some terrible things. But that doesn't mean you have to listen to everyone. Never ever worry about - log kya kahenge. At the end of the day, you are the only one who will face the consequences of your actions, so don't let other people make your decisions for you. “You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.” – Tagore This famous quote is from Rabindranath Tagore’s drama ‘The King of Dark Chamber’. One can’t cross a river by merely standing and staring. Similarly, one can’t clear the competitive exams, by dreaming and reading success stories. One has to take a step and leap forward. One has to overcome the procrastination and should start reading the best and necessary material as per syllabus to succeed in the exam. The hardest thing in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.” - Bertrand Russell Knowledge and hard work are not sufficient to clear the exams. To succeed, one has to do smart work. One should know what the most scoring areas in the preliminary are and the main examination, one should know which books have to be read and which books have to be avoided to become an officer with minimum efforts, aspirants have to be tactful. Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.” – Buddha This Buddha’s quote is not only applicable to the journey of your life, but also to your exam preparation. Realize the power of the ‘now’ and make the most out of your present. If you failed to study yesterday, don’t get carried away with that disappointment. Start every day a fresh and study with focus every day. “Genius is 1% talent and 99% percent hard work.” – Einstein Many aspirants think that only those having inborn talent can become officers. But, this is not true. It is only with your sheer hard, you can succeed in any competitive exams. With only your persistent and disciplined hard work, you can complete the syllabus and succeed in any exam. In life, one cannot achieve success without facing failures. Don’t get disheartened when you are not able to clear the exam in one or more attempt. One must know that failure is a very normal thing. Analyse your mistakes in your previous attempt, learn from them and prepare an action plan and execute it. Success will be yours. Arise, awake, and, stop not till the goal is reached. - Swami Vivekananda

Download or read book History of Ancient India written by Rama Shankar Tripathi and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The object of this volume is to provide within a moderate compass a compendious account of the history, institutions, and culture of ancient India from the dim ages of antiquity to the establishment of Moslem rule. It has not been planned to meet the needs of any particular class of readers. Its primary purpose is to serve alike students, scholars, and all others, interested in the study of ancient Indian history, as a book of ready use and reference. The pages which follow every attempt has been made to avoid presenting a mass of the dry bones of historical fact or over-burdening the account with intricate discussions on knotty problems of history, on the one hand, and giving a mere general and readable survey of India's long and fascinating past, on the other. I have endeavoured to tap and utilise properly the available sources of information, literary, epigraphic, and numismatic, and also to embody and set forth in a consistent manner the results of up-to-date researches on different topics and epochs. All the materials have been patiently sifted and critically examined with the sole desire to arrive at historical truth and scientific accuracy; and the unfortunate tendency, manifest in some modern publications, to extol or decry without warrant any of the manifolds aspects of India's panoramic story, has been scrupulously eschewed This book gives an authoritative, up-to-date, and compendious account of the history, institutions and culture of India from the earliest times to the advent of the Moslem period. It is based on all available materials - literary, epigraphic, and numismatic - and is written in a most elegant, sober, and lucid style. The author brings to bear upon his task not only profound scholarship and critical acumen but also scrupulous regard for historical truth, the accuracy of facts and impartiality of judgement. The merit of the book has been enhanced by an exhaustive Bibliography and a comprehensive Index. Students, scholars and the general reader alike will find the book highly interesting, useful and valuable for study and references.

The Historical Dictionary of Ancient India provides information ranging from the earliest Paleolithic cultures in the Indian subcontinent to 1000 CE. The ancient history of this country is related in this book through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on rulers, bureaucrats, ancient societies, religion, gods, and philosophical ideas.
