Download or read book The Marwari Heritage written by D.K. Taknet and published by IntegralDMS. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the early Vedic period, the Vaishyas, the oldest mercantile community of India, generated wealth for the nation through their remarkable efforts. Their Marwari offshoots were appointed by many rulers as ministers, advisors and diwans and were recognised as the first philanthropists in India. The Marwari Heritage takes the reader on a voyage of discovery of the Marwaris who migrated from Rajputana, Haryana, Malwa and its adjoining regions to other parts of India. They braved trials and tribulations in unchartered territories, supporting others of their community, never losing faith in their ability to succeed, and focused on their goal, they became the uncrowned kings, first of trade and business, and later of industry. They joined the freedom struggle with a true spirit of patriotism, philanthropy and active political involvement. Many courted imprisonment and even achieved martyrdom. Today, the roots of the Marwari community are deeply enmeshed in the social, cultural and economic fabric of India. Their innate psyche of giving back to society has seen them donate generously to education, empowerment of women and vocational training leading to employment. Shedding some traditions and retaining many, they have stepped into the modern age, achieving an enviable cultural mix. At the helm of most successful entrepreneurial enterprises, their focus on innovation and technological advancement has resulted in governments of several countries seeking their advice on economic growth. Of the many who have left an indelible mark on the history, socio-political and economic foundations of the country, this book is enriched with rich cameos of some of these ‘greats’ and the reader derives insights into numerous newly discovered and hitherto unrecorded facts. The younger generation of Marwaris continue to dream big and build on the foundations their forefathers planted. They continue to grow from strength to strength, marching towards new horizons. The plethora of welfare schemes and trusts responsible for development of the nation’s needy continue to be monitored with precision. Meticulously researched over five years and richly illustrated with over 100 rare, coloured photographs, paintings, and 600 black and white photographs, illustrations and rare documents published for the first time, readers have much to feast their eyes on. This pictorial book also serves as an inspiration to any and everyone who dares to dream and reach for the skies.

Download or read book Jaipur Nama written by Giles Henry Rupert Tillotson and published by Penguin Books India. This book was released on 2006 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jaipur Nama is the story of one of India's most fascinating cities, as seen through the eyes of both its residents and its visitors, who witnessed and recorded different moments in Jaipur's history between the 18th and 20th centuries. The triumph, follies and foibles of its rulers, the passions and drama of palace intrigues, the splendor of royal rites and entertainments, and the bustle and energy of tis bazaars and ateliers, all come to life through the vivid and detailed accounts of chroniclers as diverse as an Austrian Jesuit, a French naturalist, a court priest, a city merchant and a pilgrim from Banaras. Many of these accounts are here translated into English for the first time. Each reflects a different aspect of Jaipur, together creating a captivating, kaleidoscopic portrait of the Pink City. Linking these narratives are the observations, experiences and perceptions of the author, Giles Tillotson, who skillfully weaves the past into the present as he writes about the personalities who shaped the character of the city, the wonders of its architectures, and the development of its superb arts and crafts. Entertaining as well as scholarly, Jaipur Nama will appeal to a wide readership. For those who know Jaipur or plan to go there, this book will sharpen and enrich their experience of the city, while armchair travelers will find it a delightfully witty and knowledgeable companion.

Download or read book Society and Circulation written by Claude Markovits and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of an "eternal India", based on stable and unchanging villages, has been in disarray for at least two decades. However, having demolished this myth, historians have been rather less able to construct an alternative vision. This volume sets out to do just that, using the idea of "circulation" in relation to South Asia in the colonial period. It comprises a set of complementary essays which deal with merchant circulation, pilgrimages, cartography, policing, labor mobility, and the movement of itinerant groups from colonial administrators to wandering bards, demonstrating that the South Asia of this period was made and remade by changing patterns and the logic of circulation. Once this perspective is integrated into the analysis of society, new and disturbing questions emerge on issues such as culture, identity and ethnogenesis, which are normally treated in the context of fixed and stable societies. The essays in this volume - written by some of the leading authorities in South Asian history - break new ground in suggesting the outlines of a different framework for historical analysis. This volume will interest not only South Asianists, but also those interested in historical method as well as wider comparative perspectives on early modern and contemporary history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental history of India has developed as an important field of inquiry in the last twenty-five years. While providing major insights, the existing scholarship has primarily focused on drawing sharp lines of distinction - those between geographical spaces (forest, rivers, farms), people (herders, farmers, townspeople), eras (colonial, post-colonial) and so on. The limitations of these sharp divides are brought to the forefront when there is a critical engagement with the region's contested environmental past. Shifting Ground brings together an array of essays that pose critical questions regarding India's environmental past and the way it has been approached by scholars. From debunking the idea of a primeval, pristine forest cover, to analysing the dynamics that shape human-animal relations, to examining the conflicts created by post-Independence projects of rural development and conservation - this volume touches upon the various aspects of environmental studies and juxtaposes them with social history, history of science and technology and history of trade and culture. Drawing on original case studies the book not only explores the past, but also portrays how its traditions are often invoked to be deployed in contemporary conflicts - those that are often aggravated by the pressures on natural assets created by the recent prosperity and the vaulting aspirations of a rapidly expanding Indian middle class.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early accounts describe Bundi as originally named Pariyatra and Vrindavati respectively. Its hinduly area was termed as Prakatpur. Over time, it came to be known as Bunda Ka Nal. Jaita the last Meena chieftain, ruled until Rao Deva conquered the territory on 24th June 1341 A.D. Rao Deva and his successors established the city of Bundi at the heart of Bunda Ka Nal, and renamed the region as Harauti, signifying the abode of Haras. Eventually, the Haras expanded their domain across the Chambal river, encompassing present-day districts of Kota and Baran. While the entire reign under Haras became known as Harauti, their rulers retained the title of Rao of Bundi. During their rule, Kota was established as a separate Hara state on 21st December 1631 A.D. Nevertheless, the combined region of Bundi and Kota continued to be referred to as Harauti. This work is a monograph to stratise the conseptulized and age old inter operative multipluralstic cultural and political crescendo which transidendet through ages. As Bundi zone irrupted in history as early as mesoprotozoic period (1.5 crore BC-1 crore BC), an elevating the Aravali hills, audiotizing the serene sound of fountains, rivers, streamlets, beautified with thick forestry, rich with wild animals and unified in religious based ideologicentric academia. Despite the existence of ample Hindi literature on Bundi, there was still a need for an English edition, especially in the era of globalization when Bundi has become a prominent tourist destination. We have diligently examined literary, archival, archealogical, spectacularly, geographical, geopolitical, numismatic, thermological, carbondatist and anthropological evidences to find the insightfulness of Bundi. This efforts presents Bundi as a cultural state having the profound implicit character to reflect doctor S. Radhakrishna’s definition “History is the memory of a Nations.” Conductively it combines it’s past with its present palladium of culture also.
