Book excerpt: The Punjab' of this book is a metaphor for the geographical region surrounded by the Himalayas, the Great Indian Desert, the Aravali Hills and the river Jamuna. During a period of about 4000 years up to AD 1000, the cultural boundaries of this region did not coincide with its geographical boundaries and there were sub-regional differences as well. There was a great deal of interaction with the outside world and between sub-regions. The socio-cultural dynamics of the region are well reflected in the different periods of its history. Seen from the regional angle, the Harappan civilization reveals sub-regional diversities and continuation in a rural setting. The Rigvedic culture appears to be a regional rather than an ethnic articulation. The formation of states within the region and its incorporation in empires set the stage for trade and urbanization, and for new socio-cultural formations. For the first time the great importance of Buddhism in the region gets underscored. Gradually, however, it was replaced by Shaivism, Vaishnavism and Shaktism. Changes in religious history are related to the changing contexts of polity and economy in their bearing on the social order, languages, literature and the arts. The book should be of equal interest to the student, the professional historian and the general reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Punjabiyat? What are the different notions of Punjab? This volume analyses these ideas and explores the different aspects that constitute Punjab as a region conceptually in history, culture, and practice. Each essay examines a different Punjabi culture—language-based and literary; religious and those that define a 'community'; rural, urban, and middle class; and historical, contemporary, and cosmopolitan. Together, these essays unravel the complex foundations of Punjabiyat. The volume also shows how the recent history of Punjab—partition, aspirations of statehood, and a large and assertive diaspora—has had a discernible impact on the region's scholarship. Departing from conventional studies on Punjab, this book presents fresh perspectives and new insights into its regional culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Punjab' has been called by different names in the periods of its history. Punjab has been mentioned in Mahabharata / Epic age as Panchnada and in the ancient period, Madra or Madhya Desa was the name of Punjab. During the Vedic age, the Punjab was called the Sapt Sindhu comprising regions encompassed by 7 rivers named Vitasta (Jhelum), Asuki (Chenab), Parushni (Ravi), Vipasa (Beas), Shatradu (Sutlej), Saraswati (dried up now) and Sindhu (Indus) and during the rule of Greeks in Punjab/ India from 4th century BCE, it was called as PentaPotamia (delta of five rivers). Both in the Buddhist literature and in the holy book Zend Avesta of Zoroastrianism, the name Hafta Hindva of Punjab appears. Punjab was known for several centuries as Taki or Tak Desa. The then Punjab was inhabited by the tribes or Panchjanas: Anush, Purus, Bharats, Yadus and Turvasus. Punjab has been inhabited over the years by Harappans, Indo-Aryans, Greeks, Persians, Scythians, Arabs, Turks, Mughals, Balochs and it has seen the influence of the Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, Sikhism and Christianity. The boundaries of Punjab extended beyond the Hindukush mountains during the Mauryan and Kushan reign. During the Turco-Afghan rule, the boundaries of Punjab or Lahore province extended up to Peshawar. In the Mughal Period, it extended from River Sutlej to River Indus which is about 180 Kos or 324 Kms and from Bhimhar to Chaukandi, also 180 Kos or 324 Kilometres. Later, Punjab was divided into Lahore and Multan provinces which remained like that throughout the Mughal Period. During the Sikh Reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the Punjab was generally called 'the Lahore Province' or 'the Lahore Kingdom', after the name of the capital city. The Lahore Kingdom extended from Sutlej to Khyber Pass. After the Mutiny of 1857, Delhi and Hissar of present Haryana were added to the Punjab Province. In 1901, areas to the west of Punjab, beyond the Indus, were separated from the Punjab and a separate province NWFP (presently KPK) was formed, away from the administrative control of the Lt. Governor of the Punjab and placed under the charge of a chief commissioner, directly responsible to the Indian Government. Under the rule of Lord Curzon and in 1912, the capital Delhi was separated from the Punjab. But under the British rule, it came to be called 'the Province of the Punjab' and after independence, as mentioned above, the Indian portion of the Punjab got the name 'East Punjab'. At present, however, this 'Land of Five Rivers' or the Punjab is not held by one single country. In 1947, a brutal dismemberment of the Punjab took place and it was divided into two Punjabs. The West Punjab went to Pakistan, whereas the East Punjab became an important frontier State in the North-West of the Indian Union. In the new constitution of India, it is called 'The Punjab State'. In 1966, there was a trifurcation of Indian Punjab and it was again divided into three parts, the Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. Punjab's size has shrunk further. It may be mentioned that the boundaries of the Punjab have been altered not only after partition in 1947 but also in the various periods of History. The area of the good old Punjab from 1912 to 1947 was more than 255700 square kms or 505 kms x 505 kms approximately and it comprised 29 districts including historical towns like Multan, Lahore, Dipalpur, and Sialkot. The Indian Punjab now forms a small frontier State of the Indian union. Its area is now reduced to only 50,130 square km. and its total Population, according to the latest census, is 27.7 million (as per census 2011). Once it included what is now Pakistan's Punjab and part of the Islamabad and Indian Punjab, parts of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Jammu and Delhi. However, whatever be the political divisions of the region called the Punjab, historians are concerned with the whole region, as it was and has been through the ages.

This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1965, The Culture and Civilisation of Ancient India in Historical Outline is a strikingly original work, the first real cultural history of India. The main features of the Indian character are traced back into remote antiquity as the natural outgrowth of historical process. Did the change from food gathering and the pastoral life to agriculture make new religions necessary? Why did the Indian cities vanish with hardly a trace and leave no memory? Who were the Aryans – if any? Why should Buddhism, Jainism, and so many other sects of the same type come into being at one time and in the same region? How could Buddhism spread over so large a part of Asia while dying out completely in the land of its origin? What caused the rise and collapse of the Magadhan empire; was the Gupta empire fundamentally different from its great predecessor, or just one more ‘oriental despotism’? These are some of the many questions handled with great insight, yet in the simplest terms, in this stimulating work. This book will be of interest to students of history, sociology, archaeology, anthropology, cultural studies, South Asian studies and ethnic studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Current condition of each citizen, the society, and the nation are the result of a deeply complex history. But what we know from history books, especially academic textbooks, are constructs based on the narratives of political powers, colonists, and outdated socioeconomic analysts. The time has come to know and understand our true history from fresh and updated perspectives. The subject of this book is how foreign ideologies and forces Christian, Islamic, and later colonists, western and Marxists' profound and long-term influence have impacted India, her society, and people. With a computer science back- ground, Kanchan Banerjee makes this remarkable and significant contribution, attempting to depict the current era with unique and lively storytelling using carefully studied evidence, logical deduction, and analysis. He has given detailed and comprehensive descriptions and assessments from pre-Islamic Arabia's history, foreign attacks and invasions of the Huns, the Turks to the Islamic rule and occupation in Delhi, and the British colonial and imperial atrocities. How did the crash and fall of a great ancient civilization happen? How has it been wounded the body and soul of a nation to break into several pieces? And what is the way to change the direction to the path of recovery and revival? This book is an effort to find the answers to these questions from our true history. If we know our past, we can change our future as well.

Download or read book Ancient Mesopotamia written by A. Leo Oppenheim and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This splendid work of scholarship . . . sums up with economy and power all that the written record so far deciphered has to tell about the ancient and complementary civilizations of Babylon and Assyria."—Edward B. Garside, New York Times Book Review Ancient Mesopotamia—the area now called Iraq—has received less attention than ancient Egypt and other long-extinct and more spectacular civilizations. But numerous small clay tablets buried in the desert soil for thousands of years make it possible for us to know more about the people of ancient Mesopotamia than any other land in the early Near East. Professor Oppenheim, who studied these tablets for more than thirty years, used his intimate knowledge of long-dead languages to put together a distinctively personal picture of the Mesopotamians of some three thousand years ago. Following Oppenheim's death, Erica Reiner used the author's outline to complete the revisions he had begun. "To any serious student of Mesopotamian civilization, this is one of the most valuable books ever written."—Leonard Cottrell, Book Week "Leo Oppenheim has made a bold, brave, pioneering attempt to present a synthesis of the vast mass of philological and archaeological data that have accumulated over the past hundred years in the field of Assyriological research."—Samuel Noah Kramer, Archaeology A. Leo Oppenheim, one of the most distinguished Assyriologists of our time, was editor in charge of the Assyrian Dictionary of the Oriental Institute and John A. Wilson Professor of Oriental Studies at the University of Chicago.
