Book excerpt: Illustrations: Numerous B/w Illustrations & 1 Map Description: Despite the magnitude of the discovery, there has never been a full scale study of the gold artifacts uncovered from a number of sites in India. An attempt has been made to reveal the importance of these archaeological discoveries through proper investigation and research. Besides a general discussion on the types of gold objects found, observations have been made on the techniques of gold ornaments in prehistoric and early historic India. The discoveries of the Indo-Greek, Kushan, Roman, and Gupta gold coins indicate the extensive use of the metal in the early historic period. The literary data suggest an abundance, and a wide diversity of gold and gold objects, which is not even remotely matched by the archaeological data. The present work analyses the relevant literary data and emphasizes virtually all important aspects of the Indian and foreign literary allusions to Indian gold. The geology of gold has been exhaustively presented. A detailed consideration of the geological data throws interesting light on the number of areas and ways in which the metal concerned could be obtained. Thus, the present work is an attempt at integration of data of all kinds on the early history of gold in India. The author has tried to bring out a basic history pattern by a systematic and critical evaluation of the available geological, archaeological and literary data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gold Treasure of India: An Enquiry Into Its Amount, the Causes of Its Accumulation, and the Proper Means of Using It as Money So far as the amount of this sum depends on a remediable over-valuation of gold, it might be reduced by additions to the stock of that metal available for use as money. So far as it depends on the depreciation of silver in the gold valuation, any measure tending to bring into use the discarded silver money of the European world would tend to raise its value. An endeavour is therefore made in the following pages to sketch the history of the precious metals in connection with the trade between India and foreign countries from the earliest ages, to describe the causes always in operation which directed the course of gold and silver to India, to estimate the stock of gold which has been under process of accumulation in India during more than twenty-five centuries, and to urge (not for the first time) on the consideration of those interested in this subject the importance of liberating the vast gold treasure hoarded in India (which the following observations will show to exceed considerably in value), and, by making it available for use as money, to reduce the value of gold as a purchasing agent to its natural proportions.

Book excerpt: "For centuries, East Africa has played a central role within the Indian Ocean world. The Arabs built the first trade networks there; these were laid siege to by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century, followed by British colonialists in the nineteenth century. An interregional trade linked different subregions of East Africa to other Indian Ocean economies. For example, Hindu merchants from Gujarat played a leading role in the ivory trade of East Africa during the past four centuries. In the nineteenth century, Zanzibar became a major center of the Asian slave trade. While slave trading, slave raiding, and their consequences provide one thematic focus of this book, the author also demonstrates that Indian Ocean commercial networks were much more complex in the range of products exchanged, including luxury goods and staple food items, as well as enforced labor. Islam provided yet another connective tissue linking East Africa to the Indian Ocean world and served as a cultural matrix through which popular beliefs and practices were transmitted. This book offers an eye-opening perspective on an often neglected area of world history."--Publisher's description.
