Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A universally accepted fact is that no literature of the proper recorded historical nature throwing light on the events that materialized in Ancient India is available to us with an exception of a few. The reason is that the authors, who produced a vast Ancient Indian literature available to us today, were actually not the historical writers or the historians; instead, they were the philosophers, sages, seers, thinkers, ascetics, hermits and saints, who shared and propagated their experiences and knowledge among the common mass about the secrets of life, which they earned themselves via researches conducted through leading a disciplined and pious life, austerity and hard penance. The literature in this part of the world in ancient times was, thus, created with the social and religious frame of mind for the benefit of mankind as a whole. The study of inscriptions, therefore, becomes mandatory as far as knowing the history of Ancient India is concerned, as the genuine inscriptions form the most authentic source for almost correct reconstruction of the past events. This book reevaluates the pioneering and untiring efforts put in by the epigraphists, especially the European and Indian scholars, during the last couple of centuries to decipher the contents of the epigraphic records scattered all over the country and, thus, unveil the historical events that occurred during the first three centuries of the Common Era.

Download or read book Indian Epigraphy written by Richard Salomon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-12-10 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a general survey of all the inscriptional material in the Sanskrit, Prakrit, and modern Indo-Aryan languages, including donative, dedicatory, panegyric, ritual, and literary texts carved on stone, metal, and other materials. This material comprises many thousands of documents dating from a range of more than two millennia, found in India and the neighboring nations of South Asia, as well as in many parts of Southeast, central, and East Asia. The inscriptions are written, for the most part, in the Brahmi and Kharosthi scripts and their many varieties and derivatives. Inscriptional materials are of particular importance for the study of the Indian world, constituting the most detailed and accurate historical and chronological data for nearly all aspects of traditional Indian culture in ancient and medieval times. Richard Salomon surveys the entire corpus of Indo-Aryan inscriptions in terms of their contents, languages, scripts, and historical and cultural significance. He presents this material in such a way as to make it useful not only to Indologists but also non-specialists, including persons working in other aspects of Indian or South Asian studies, as well as scholars of epigraphy and ancient history and culture in other regions of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No doubt India contributed to the civilization of the world in all phases of the history; but her most substantial contributions to the world culture were made in the early period. Therefore, the study of Ancient Indian History is too important for a student/researcher of the history of human civilization. It is quite unfortunate that, unlike Greece, Rome or China, ancient India has no history, because the Indians of antiquity did not care to leave written accounts of all their achievements. Therefore, the information gathered from various sources, such as the epigraphic, numismatic, archaeological and monumental records, and travel-accounts of the foreign tourists, are put to use for the reconstruction of this lost history of the most glorious days of India. Of all such sources, the epigraphic records are the most important, for they supply valuable and reliable material for the major part of what we now know about the achievements of the early Indians. It is now an established fact that the genuine inscriptions form the most authentic source for almost correct reconstruction of the historical events of any civilization and culture all round the globe. Inscriptions, in whatever form, constitute an important and reliable source of the past events. This book throws light on the types, forms, characteristic features and significance of the inscriptions today that were produced in Ancient India during the first three centuries of the Common Era.

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.

Book excerpt: The book links the invention of writing to the inventions of bronze-age technologies. Indus script is claimed to be one of the earliest writing systems of the world dated to c. 3500 BCE. The book claims that Indian language union (sprachbund or Indian linguistic area) dates back to the period when Indus script was used. About 1000 lexemes of Meluhha (mleccha) have been identified and explained in the context of ciphertext of Indian hieroglyphs. These substratum glosses are the foundation for further studies in the evolution of languages and linguistic features absorbed from one another, in Indian language union (sprachbund). Using evidence from almost all hieroglyphs in the 6000 + inscriptions, this book makes a contribution to an understanding of the middle phase in evolution of writing systems, a phase which bridged pictographic writing with syllabic writing to represent sounds of a language called meluhha (mleccha) in Indian language union - lingua franca of Harosheth hagoyim, smithy of nations. The continuum of hieroglyph tradition in Indian linguistic area is evaluated in the context of continued use of Indian hieroglyphs on thousands of punch-marked coins together with syllabic scripts of kharosti and brahmi . The book establishes that ancient India was a language union with speakers of Munda, Dravidian and Indo-Aryan languages learning technical words related to bronze-age metallurgy from one another. They used these words in the writing system. The book draws heavily from a multi-lingual dictionary of over 25 ancient languages called Indian Lexicon for unraveling the cipher of the Indus script, as an exercise in solving a cryptography problem. The writing system was called mlecchita vikalpa (Cryptography of Meluhhas/Mlecchas) and is mentioned in an 8th century BCE work by Vatsyayana. The Indian hieroglyphs find their echoes in the goat-fish hieroglyphs on a ritual basin of Uruk (Sumer) and the Egyptian hieroglyph for Bat showing a mudhif reed symbol which also occurs on Uruk basin. The 'reed' read rebus denotes Glyph: eruva 'reed'. Rebus: eruva 'copper'. Also discussed are some Egyptian hieroglyph parallels from the statue of Hathor-Menkaure-Bat triad of the fourth dynasty and the continued tradition of building reed huts by Todas comparable to the mudhifs of ancient Sumer. This book is a sequel to the author's Indus Script Cipher (2010). http: //tinyurl.com/7dflhyq
