Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: शूद्रों का प्राचीन इतिहास प्रख्यात इतिहासकार प्रो– रामशरण शर्मा की अत्यंत मूल्यवान कृति है । शूद्रों की स्थिति को लेकर इससे पूर्व जो कार्य हुआ है, उसमें तटस्थ और तलस्पर्शी दृष्टि का प्राय% अभाव दिखाई देता है । ऐसे कार्य में कहीं ‘शूद्र’ शब्द के दार्शनिक आधार की व्याख्या–भर मिलती है, तो कहीं धर्मसूत्रों में शूद्रों के स्थान कीय कहीं शूद्रों के गुलाम नहीं होने को सिद्ध किया गया है, तो कहीं उनके उच्चवर्गीय होने को । कुछ अध्ययनों में प्राचीन भारत के श्रमशील वर्ग से संबद्ध सूचनाओं का संकलन–भर हुआ है । दूसरे शब्दों में कहें तो ऐसे अध्ययनों में विभिन्न परिस्थितियों में पैदा हुई उन पेचीदगियों की प्राय% उपेक्षा कर दी गई है, जिनके चलते शूद्र नामक श्रमजीवी वर्ग का निर्माण हुआ । कहना न होगा कि यह कृति उक्त तमाम एकांगिताओं अथवा प्राचीन भारतीय जीवन के पहलुओं पर ध्यान केंद्रित करने की प्रकृति से मुक्त है । लेखक के शब्दों में कहें तो ‘‘प्रस्तुत गं्रथ की रचना का उद्देश्य प्राचीन भारत में शूद्रों की स्थिति का विस्तृत विवेचन करना मात्र नहीं, बल्कि उसके ऐसे आधुनिक विवरणों का मूल्यांकन करना भी है जो या तो अपर्याप्त आँकड़ों के आधार पर अथवा सुधारवादी या सुधारविरोधी भावनाओं से प्रेरित होकर लिखे गए हैं ।’’ संक्षेप में, प्रो– शर्मा की यह कृति ऋग्वैदिक काल से लेकर करीब 500 ई– तक हुए शूद्रों के विकास को सुसंबद्ध तरीके से सामने रखती है । शूद्र चूँकि श्रमिक वर्ग के थे, अत% यहाँ उनकी आर्थिक स्थिति और उच्च वर्ग के साथ उनके समाजार्थिक रिश्तों के स्वरूप की पड़ताल के साथ–साथ दासों और अछूतों की उत्पत्ति एवं स्थिति की भी विस्तार से चर्चा की गई है ।

Download or read book Sudras in Ancient India written by Ram Sharan Sharma and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work has been undertaken not only to provide an adequate treatment of the position of the sudras in ancient times, but also to evaluate their modern characterizations, either based on insufficient data, or inspired by reformist or anti-reformist motives. Here an attempt has been made to present a connected and systematic account of the various developments in the position of the sudras down to circa A.D. 600. Since the sudras were regarded as the laboring class, in this study particular attention has been paid to the investigation of their material conditions has been paid to their economic and social relations with the members of the higher varnas. This has naturally involved the study of the position of slaves, with whom the sudras were considered identical. The untouchables are also theoretically placed in the category of sudras, and hence their origin and position has also been discussed in some detail.

This book is essential reading for those interested in the history of India and its culture.
Download or read book Urban Decay in India C 300 c 1000 written by Ram Sharan Sharma and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrations: 2 maps and 23 line drawings Description: The book focuses on the decline of the towns and their desertion in late ancient and early medieval India on the basis of archaeological evidence. The author has material remains to study crafts, commerce and coinage, and identifies and illustrates signs of growth and decay for more than 130 excavated sites. The strata with poor remains are taken to indicate decrease in construction, manufacturing and commercial activities, and are hence associated with de-urbanization. The reasons for the urban eclipse are sought not only in the fall of empires but also in social disorder and the loss of long-distance trade. The disintegration of the town life is seen not as social regression but as part of the social transformation which generated classical feudalism and promoted rural expansion. The book explores the link between urban decay and land grants to officials, priests, temples and monasteries. It shows how the landed elements collected surplus and services directly from the peasants, and remunerated artisan servicing castes through land grants and grain supply. The monograph should interest students of pre-modern urban history and those who study processes of change in economy and society in Gupta and post-Gupta times. It may also provide basic information on the urban horizons of excavated sites during the second half of the first millennium BC and the following six centuries AD.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a concise collection of lectures which discuss the nature of early Indian society during the mid-first millennium BC and relate it to the ancient Indian historical tradition in its earliest forms. It also looks at the particular character of social formations, their genesis, and continuity as part of the later Indian social landscape. Examining the social and political formulations of the period, this volume analyses the transformation of lineage-based societies into state formulations. It considers the migration and arrival of the monarchies in the middle Ganga valley, where the evolution of these societies resulted in the formation of a state. It provides insights into environmental influences on settlements, the particularities of caste, the role of rituals, and the interaction of ideology with these changes. The volume presents an account of the interplay of a range of variables in state formation.
