Excerpt: ... from the East Indies which has the unique distinction of having been referred to by both parties in this controversy in support of their respective contentions. The Khatris have been trading on the credulity of the unsuspecting public by quoting just so much of the decision as is sufficient to mislead the unwary; and condescendingly add "that the Rajputs, too, come from the ancient Kshatriya family and are as good Kshatriyasas the Khatris themselves."3 The portion 2.

"The Khatiis, their origin, traditions, and social status," p. 10, of the decision dealing with the four castes is, even at the risk of being tedious, reproduced below in extenso: --"It is undoubted that there were originally four classes: First, the Brahmans; second, the Khattis; third, the Vaishyas; fourth, the Soodras; the first three were the regenerate or twice-born classes, the latter the servile class. It was contended on the part of the appellant, that the Khatri and Vaishya classes have ceased to exist, and were sunk into the Soodra class, and that there are now two classes only, namely, the Brahman and the Soodra. The appellant, in order to show that the proper genuine Khatri are extinct, cites as authorities in support of this position The Ayeen Akbery, or, the Institutes of the Emperor Akbar, Vol. If, p. 2,77, in which there is this passage: 'At present there are scarcely any true Kehterees to be found, excepting a few who do not follow the profession of arms.'

Download or read book Contemporaneity of the Mahabharata Narrative written by Anirban Bhattacharjee and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notwithstanding its renowned comprehensive narrative encapsulation of the Indic culture, the Mahabharata keeps on posing a challenge to its contemporary readers: how do we relate to something over two-millennia old in today’s context without freezing it in time? This volume looks at the problem from diverse periods and standpoints and shows us that this challenge is, in fact, a legacy of the Mahabharata and the responses to this challenge are what makes the text ever-contemporary to different readers of different times and positions. It traces the evolution of the Mahabharata from its inception in the fifth century BCE to twenty-first century, spanning classical Sanskrit tradition, Persian and Bengali adaptations, the Mahabharata as a serialized TV show to more recent graphic narratives. By attempting to analyse this diversity, this volume further delves into how the issues in the Mahabharata resonate across time, from the world of ancient sages to contemporary struggles of women. The essays in this book adopt a dual perspective to appreciate both the Mahabharata’s historical context, its exploration of war, heroes and heroines, gender, psychology, philosophy, and its implications for the future. This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of Indian literature, ancient literature and philosophy, English literature, cultural studies, visual studies, gender studies, and translation studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book is an attempt to delineate 'The Status of Women in the Epics'. Many scholars have thrown light on the position of women in the Vedic, Buddhist and later periods of ancient Indian history and have also made a study of their status in the legal literature of the times. Only few attempt mainly deals with sexual life in Epics. In this book the original sources drawn upon are the two great Epics, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The secondary sources are commentaries, translations and dissertations written on these works. In tracing the status of women in the Epics, the author has strictly endeavored to draw conclusions from the evidences gathered from these two great Epics. The very nature of Epic literature is dealt with in detail in the introduction, pre-Vedic and Vedic traditions provide the social background of the Epic Society. The characters of the Epics, particularly those of the Mahabharata belong to the Brahmanas and Upanisads period. The customs traced in the narrative parts of the Epics are those found in Sutras. The author has attempted to collect, collate and scrutinize parallel evidences of customs and conditions from the above mentioned literature on the one hand and the Epics on the other.

This book was released on 2004-10-20 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The population of the Indian subcontinent consists of a fine amalgamation of people from diverse tribal, cultural, religious and social backgrounds. Mortality and morbidity from a vast number of medical and surgical conditions is significant and well above compared to the developed countries. Although a large component of the human health problem is related to infection, malnutrition and other preventable causes, a significant proportion is linked to hereditary factors reflecting in the form of chromosomal, single gene and complex medical diseases. Unusual and unique Mendelian disorders are not uncommon and a number of common medical conditions, such as ischemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus are relatively more prevalent among those living in the developing countries of the Indian subcontinent and as well as among the migrant population groups in the western world. However, true burden of the inherited disorders among the Asian Indians is not known, and probably underestimated. This text includes a detailed and concise account of the social and cultural diversity, medical demography, genetic epidemiology, consanguinity and common genetic disorders affecting people from the Indian subcontinent. In addition, specific issues of genetic services in various regions are addressed.

Download or read book Caste and Democratic Politics in India written by Ghanshyam Shah and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian constitution seeks to prevent the perpetuation of caste and build a casteless social system. But in over half a century since Indian independence, this has not been achieved and does not seem likely in the near future. Therefore, no understanding of Indian politics is possible without a thorough understanding of the complexities of the caste system. The aim of this four-part book is to bring about such an understanding. It begins by examining the various meanings attached to the notion of caste. The essay and book extracts in this first section include classic writings on caste such as those by G S Ghurye, Louis Dumont, Mahatma Gandhi and B R Ambedkar. The second part consists of essays that demonstrate the relationship between caste and power. The third part comprises material that investigates caste and various Indian political practices on the ground. The fourth, on caste and social transformation, includes discussion on one of the most salient topics in contemporary Indian politics, namely, the issue of reservations for socially backward castes.
