Download or read book Indian Epigraphy written by D.C. Sircar and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most significant of India's contributions of the civilization of the world was made in the ancient period. Unfortunately, the history of this glorious epoch, which is an interesting chapter in the annals of human civilization, was lost and we have been reconstructing it on the basis of information gathered from various sources. Of these, epigraphy is the most important, since the major part of what we already know about ancient India is derived from the study of inscriptions. In the present work, Professor D.C. Sircar deals with various problems relating to Indian pigraphy and it is expected to be useful to people interested in ancient Indian history in general and Indian inscriptions in particular. Some of the topics discussed herein are: inscriptions and their evidence, languages in which the inscriptions are written, writing materials, the preparation and preservation of documents, copperplate grants, stanzas on bhumi-dana, Indian epigraphy abroad, systems of dating and the different eras, technical expressions including royal titles and official designations, taxes, land measures, nomenclature, etc. There are thirty-six plates illustrating various types of epigraphical records.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Medieval India written by Iqtidar Alam Khan and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2008-04-25 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The medieval period of Indian history is difficult to clearly define. It can be considered a long transition from ancient to precolonial times. Its end is marked by Vasco da Gama's voyage round the Cape of Good Hope in 1498 and the establishment of the Mughal empire (1526). The renewed Islamic advance into north India, from roughly 1000 A.D. onward, leading to the rise of the Delhi Sultanate (1206), is the beginning of the medieval period in political and cultural terms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book Is An Attempt At A Rational Reconstruction Of The Fundamental Principles Of Indian Musicology And Tries To Indicate How The Basic Aesthetic Appeal Of The Ragas Could Be Best Interpreted. Challenging The Idea That Indian Music Is A Closed Orthodox Set Of So-Called Rigid Rules And Principles, It Treats Indian Music As Rooted In Man S Spiritual Vision. Music Unfolds This Vision Spontaneously Through Proportionate Note-Sequences And It Is The Unending Pilgrimage Of Man, Which Opens Richer And Greater Horizons Where Man Can Find His Home To Be A Hernmitage Of Abiding Peace And Blissful Joy. Throughout The Book There Runs A Single Thread, Namely, The Transcendental Dimension Of The Spiritual Vision In Aesthetic Enjoyment, As Reflected In The Musical Creativity Of India, From The Ancient Period. The Criticism Of The So-Called Gharana System Together With A Criticism Of The Traditional Tala System And Other Allied Issues Regarding The Concepts Of Raga And Rasa Will Be Helpful To The Scholars And Researches In This Field. The Distinctive Feature Of This Book Is The Treatment Of The Revolutionary Experiments Of Rabindranath Tagore On Indian Music And Its Musicology. This Section Will Stimulate Specialists And General Readers Alike. This Book Is A Must For Western Readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have been searching for meaning in Islamic art for centuries. Newly available in paperback, this book explores the iconography of Islamic art, presenting a diverse range of approaches to the subject.Despite this variety, there is an overarching theme: the linking of the interpretation of objects to textual sources. This results in a collection of in-depth studies of motifs as diverse as the peacock, trees, and the figure holding a cup and branch. In addition, new interpretations are presented of other objects, such as an Abuyyid metal basin or Mongol paintings.Textual sources on the Ka'ba or the use of marble provide a starting point for the examination of objects and their relationship to history. The architectural decoration of monuments from Egypt to India is analysed, and Arab and Safavid paintings are mined for meaning. Links with Christian elements in Sicily or Buddhist stupas are appraised.Generously illustrated throughout, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in Islamic art, architecture and iconography.Key Features* Lavishly illustrated with colour and black and white photographs and line drawings* Features contributions from leading figures including Sheila S. Blair and Jonathan M. Bloom* Presents new interpretations of Islamic art* Integrates the study of objects and related texts

Download or read book Making Space written by Nile Green and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-16 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How could settlement emerge in an early modern 'world on the move'? How did the Sufis imprint their influence on the cultural memory of their communities? Weaving together investigations of architecture, ethnography, local history, and migration, Making Space offers bold new insights into Indian, Islamic, and comparative early modern history. Nile Green explores the tensions between mobility and locality through the ways in which Sufi Islam responded to the cultural demands of moving and settling. Central to this process were the shrines, rituals, and narratives of the saints. Tracing how different Muslim communities located their sense of belonging, this book shows how Afghan, Mughal, and Hindustani Muslims constructed new homelands while remembering different places of origin.
