Download or read book The Culture and Civilisation of Ancient India in HIstorical Outline written by D D Kosambi and published by Taylor & Francis. 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.

Wish you happy reading and best wishes for the examinations. Two words from Author… Don't live in the shadows of people's judgement. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom. Don't let anyone's opinion of which you should be friends or live with, dictate who you will be friends or live with. People will talk. They shall say some terrible things. But that doesn't mean you have to listen to everyone. Never ever worry about - log kya kahenge. At the end of the day, you are the only one who will face the consequences of your actions, so don't let other people make your decisions for you. “You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.” – Tagore This famous quote is from Rabindranath Tagore’s drama ‘The King of Dark Chamber’. One can’t cross a river by merely standing and staring. Similarly, one can’t clear the competitive exams, by dreaming and reading success stories. One has to take a step and leap forward. One has to overcome the procrastination and should start reading the best and necessary material as per syllabus to succeed in the exam. The hardest thing in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.” - Bertrand Russell Knowledge and hard work are not sufficient to clear the exams. To succeed, one has to do smart work. One should know what the most scoring areas in the preliminary are and the main examination, one should know which books have to be read and which books have to be avoided to become an officer with minimum efforts, aspirants have to be tactful. Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.” – Buddha This Buddha’s quote is not only applicable to the journey of your life, but also to your exam preparation. Realize the power of the ‘now’ and make the most out of your present. If you failed to study yesterday, don’t get carried away with that disappointment. Start every day a fresh and study with focus every day. “Genius is 1% talent and 99% percent hard work.” – Einstein Many aspirants think that only those having inborn talent can become officers. But, this is not true. It is only with your sheer hard, you can succeed in any competitive exams. With only your persistent and disciplined hard work, you can complete the syllabus and succeed in any exam. In life, one cannot achieve success without facing failures. Don’t get disheartened when you are not able to clear the exam in one or more attempt. One must know that failure is a very normal thing. Analyse your mistakes in your previous attempt, learn from them and prepare an action plan and execute it. Success will be yours. Arise, awake, and, stop not till the goal is reached. - Swami Vivekananda

Download or read book The Archaeology of Ancient Indian Cities written by Dilip K. Chakrabarti and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1995 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a definitive archaeological perspective on the history of early urban growth in India. It does this by looking at both the protohistoric and the early historic periods, coming down to about AD 300 and later. Geographically, it covers all the major areas of the subcontinent. The existing archaeological data have been synthesized to yield a comprehensive picture of the morphology of ancient sites and their place within what is currently known of their settlement perspectives. This book addresses itself to some of the cardinal issues of South Asian archaeology - the origin and decline of the Indus civilization; the issue of its merger in the main flow of India's later cultural development; the archaeological basis of its long chronology; aspects of Indus urbanism; the reasons for the growth of neolithic-chalcolithic inner India; and the patterns and problems of urban growth in the early historic period on the subcontinental scale. In each case the author's concern is with understanding the situation at the grassroots level within an essentially South Asian framework. The hypotheses offered in this book should lead to some major rethinking about the story of archaeological development in the subcontinent.
Download or read book Foreign Elements in Ancient Indian Society 2nd Century BC to 7th Century AD written by Uma Prasad Thapliyal and published by New Delhi : Munshiram Manoharlal. This book was released on 1978 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: In Indian history the decline of the Mauryan empire synchronised with large scale invasions leading to foreign occupation of northern India and parts of the Deccan. This also resulted in the infiltration of sizable foreign population. The political consequences of these invasions were indeed great and these have been adequately dealt with by scholars. The social consequences of foreign invasions have not, however, attracted the attention of scholars in the same measure. This book is an attempt to analyse and interpret these political upheavals in cultural terms. Food and drinks, dress ornaments and toilet, cults and cult objects, social organization and the caste system and social entertainments are primary to a society where the influence, if any, is most fundamental. These are, therefore, the aspects which have been taken up for studying the social impact of foreign invasions.
Download or read book India a Cultural Decline Or Revival written by Bharat Gupt and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often taken for granted that Independence from the British rule also ushered an era of cultural and social freedom in India. The author wishes to examine if that is true or if a cultural decline set in soon after. Based on a verse in the Pancatantra, the book has been divided into six parts: Eka (Person), Kula (family, Grama (habitat), Janapada (land), Prithvi (earth) and Atma. Issues of educations; conflicts between the classes, regions, jatis, languages and religions; expansion of proselytizers; lack of governance; tensions between the legislators and judiciary; rise of unbridled consumerism; falling standards of democracy; dilemmas created by nations of dharma challenged by Westernized modernity; and the problems of attaining universal harmony, are all put into a perspective under these six categories. While examining the state of affairs the author also suggests a way for the pursuit of happiness through unselfish transcendence.
