Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume I : A brief history of Kamarupa in the pre-historic age as well as of the period from the third to the fourteenth century of Christian era. Attempt has been made to show from many ancient books what came of civilisation. Kamarupa had reached long before the age of the Mahabharata. The pains or the phoenicians, described in the Vedas as an ancient race of traders whom the vedic Aryans hated and regarded them as their rivals. The pains settled down on the eastern borders of India after they had been expelled from the western part of the country by their more powerful opponents, the Aryans. From the Lohita Sagara (Red Sea), how they sailed on board their sea-going vessels to a kingdom on the Asia Minor has been discussed in this volume. The people that civilised the eastern parts of Europe through their commercial enterprise and centuries-long cultural traditions. The Assyrian influence commenced in Kamarupa more than 4,500 years before the Christian era. The Mlechchha rule lasted in this country up to 11th century a.d. The three groups of Brahmanas' Yajurvedi, Samvedi and Rigvedi living in Kamarupa, had 26 Gotras. But no traces could be found of the Samvedi and Rigvedic Brahmanas in Kamarupa. After the extinction of the Mlechchha rule, Kayasthas dominated the history of Kamarupa. The Kayastha rule lasted here for about 200 years. Volume II: Deals primarily with the history of the Baro-Bhuiyas in Assam, their rise and downfall, and about the repeated invasion of the Muhammadans which put the country into chaos and confusion. The condition thus created cleared the way for the downfall of the Baro-Bhuiyas and gave rise to a few petty kingdoms. In the eastern Assam, the Kayastha Adi-Bhuiyas rose to power; in central Assam the Desa established themselves and in Kamta or western Kamarupa the Darlubhanarayan, carved out a Kingdom. One noteworthy feature of the book is that in the appendix the author has given exhaustive genealogical tables of the Baro-Bhuiyas and the leaders of various sects particularly the Vaisnavas. These tables which run into 83 page are very useful and informative for all type of readers, scholars and laymen alike. Volume III: Narrates the story of the influence of the king of Kamarupa over the people whom they conquered. The ancient kings of Kamarupa ruled over a large area. Their empire included besides Kamarupa, Srihatta and Vanga the whole of Utkala as well. The influence of the Rajas of Kamarupa could be seen ``from the coast of Pacific in the East to the boundry of Magadha on West and from the foot of the Himalayas on the North to Ganjam in the Madras Presidency in the South.'' This became possible because of the migration of the adventurous Brahmanas to distant places. The Brahmanas migrated from the Kamarupa, Srihatta or Vanga to distant places carried with them the customs, manner and ideals of Brahmanism, traces of which can still be seen in these areas. This migration of the Brahmanas started with the advent of Bhauma dynasty. The protegee of the Bhauma's the Nagara Brahmanas went to different places and spread their literature, manners and customs. Their influence continued till the advent of the Muslims. With the advent of the Muslims the manners and customs of the Bhauma period became almost extinct in Bengal but not in Kamarupa or in Utkala which can still be seen even today. The author has tried to present in this volume a picture of the happiest harmony which once prevailed between the Kamarupa and the countries they ruled particularly Utkala.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Social History of Kamarupa, Vol. 3 After the publication of the 2ud Volume, complaints from some of the Kamarupa Kayas tha, Samaja came to me that I have left out the history of some of the important ancient Kayastha families altogether and the Social History of the Kayastha Samaia there could not be complete without the record of those families, Over and above, no such history could be complete without narrating the history of the devout Saktas of Kamakhya one of the 51 Pith as of Tantrika fame and also of other devotees of Sgkta cult, In this connection, 1 have to deal with the Brahmanas of Bakta cult and of Saka dvipi Brahmanas who were established by Ahom kings of Assam.

Download or read book Organizational Control Mechanisms written by Rajendra Prasad Singh and published by Northern Book Centre. This book was released on 1988 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People seem to be ``either-or thinkers''; either this must be true or that must be true. As opposed to this there are people who believe that nothing is absolutely true and it is the time and the place which will determine the choice of an idea or a strategy. The approach of this book is opposed to both these extremes and alternatively takes a position which may be termed dialectical. It posits the possibility that both ``X and not X'' may be true at the same time and place. It conceives of social reality in the critical-conflict perspective and presents a model of behaviour control-mechanisms that may be effective in an organizational context. Besides being useful to the managers and union leaders of various government and non-government manufacturing and service organizations it has attempted to steer out a theoretical approach that may be adopted in understanding, predicting and controlling the behaviour of personnel of any hierarchy in a organization.

Download or read book Axiological Approach to the Vedas written by Sahebrao Genu Nigal and published by Northern Book Centre. This book was released on 1986 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A creative and systematic Axiology of Vedic ideas and ideals. It is an independent Axiological study which gives an integral system of values in the Vedas. The attempt made by the Author is novel and adventurous and its findings are profound. The author has made use of the well-known concept of four Purusarthas: Dharma; Artha; Kama and Moksa. This method has enabled the author to grasp the value-core of the Vedas with freshness of vision and he has brought out the main value-affirmations in the Vedas. The present volume is a study of the most ancient book of mankind, but in advanced form. It is an exploration that leads to the development of the Vedic Axiology. Reviews ....invaluable for students of Vedas, and to Indologists. The thought-provoking comments on the topics are presented in rather unusual manner. Dr. Varadachari, Review Projector (India), Vol. 7, Nos. 7–9. ``Nonetheless, this book will be of an immense help both to the student and the researcher, and is, therefore, a must for libraries.'' Dr. S.R. Sehgal, Organiser, January 1, 1989.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the study of a cross-section of respondents covering tractor-owners, bullock-owners and non-owners of draft power, the book tries to show that as compared to other farming sections, mechanised farmers have greater use of green revolution as manifested in cropping pattern and intensity use of high yielding varieties, fertilizer consumption and farm yields and incomes.
