Download or read book A Philosophical Assessment of Understanding Religion During the Indian Renaissance written by Raut Sunil and published by Shwetabhgangwaryt. This book was released on 2022-12-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion finds expressions in material culture, in human behavior and in a value system. It controls human relations. Philosophical understanding gives us the basic presuppositions, concepts, structure as well as the idea behind the topic and its implications under consideration. The history of Modern India seems to be crowded with many movements in thought and action. It stirred the Ancient wisdom and medieval social practices. The igniting force for the Renaissance movement was the entry of Europeans like French, Portuguese and British people. Britishers had come for trade and commerce and in order to make it firm and stronger they established the political hold on India. It was a dual programme consisting of economic enrichment and extension of the British Rule in the world. As Britishers began their trade and marketing soon they spread their political web to extract more and more money and power. Europeans also brought with them their religion, i.e., Christianity by converting people into their religion. Thus, the trio of economy, politics and religion not only enslaved Indians but also put a serious threat to their identity. This fact motivated the sensitive people of India to oppose such an "attack' or 'invasion' on India and Indians. The thinkers took a lead to organize a programme to oppose the 'invading attack' of Britishers.
Download or read book Minds Without Fear written by Nalini Bhushan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minds Without Fear is an intellectual and cultural history of India during the period of British occupation. It demonstrates that this was a period of renaissance in India in which philosophy--both in the public sphere and in the Indian universities--played a central role in the emergence of a distinctively Indian modernity. This is also a history of Indian philosophy. It demonstrates how the development of a secular philosophical voice facilitated the construction of modern Indian society and the consolidation of the nationalist movement. Authors Nalini Bhushan and Jay Garfield explore the complex role of the English language in philosophical and nationalist discourse, demonstrating both the anxieties that surrounded English, and the processes that normalized it as an Indian vernacular and academic language. Garfield and Bhushan attend to both Hindu and Muslim philosophers, to public and academic intellectuals, to artists and art critics, and to national identity and nation-building. Also explored is the complex interactions between Indian and European thought during this period, including the role of missionary teachers and the influence of foreign universities in the evolution of Indian philosophy. This pattern of interaction, although often disparaged as "inauthentic" is continuous with the cosmopolitanism that has always characterized the intellectual life of India, and that the philosophy articulated during this period is a worthy continuation of the Indian philosophical tradition.

Book excerpt: India's recent economic performance has attracted world attention but the country is re-awakening not just as an economy but as a civilization. After a thousand years of the decline, it now has a genuine opportunity to re-establish itself as a major global power.In ?The Indian Renaissance?, the author, Sanjeev Sanyal, looks at the processes that led to ten centuries of fossilization and then at the powerful economic and social forces that are now working together to transform India beyond recognition. These range from demographic shifts to rising literacy levels, but the most important revolution has been the opening of mind and the changed attitude towards innovation and risk.This book is about how India found itself at this historic juncture, the obstacles that it still needs to negotiate and the future that it may enjoy. The author tells the story from the perspective of the new generation of Indians who have emerged from this great period of change.Published and distributed worldwide by World Scientific Publishing Co. except India, UK and North America

Download or read book Indian Philosophy in English written by Nalini Bhushan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book publishes, for the first time in decades, and in many cases, for the first time in a readily accessible edition, English language philosophical literature written in India during the period of British rule. Bhushan's and Garfield's own essays on the work of this period contextualize the philosophical essays collected and connect them to broader intellectual, artistic and political movements in India. This volume yields a new understanding of cosmopolitan consciousness in a colonial context, of the intellectual agency of colonial academic communities, and of the roots of cross-cultural philosophy as it is practiced today. It transforms the canon of global philosophy, presenting for the first time a usable collection and a systematic study of Anglophone Indian philosophy. Many historians of Indian philosophy see a radical disjuncture between traditional Indian philosophy and contemporary Indian academic philosophy that has abandoned its roots amid globalization. This volume provides a corrective to this common view. The literature collected and studied in this volume is at the same time Indian and global, demonstrating that the colonial Indian philosophical communities were important participants in global dialogues, and revealing the roots of contemporary Indian philosophical thought. The scholars whose work is published here will be unfamiliar to many contemporary philosophers. But the reader will discover that their work is creative, exciting, and original, and introduces distinctive voices into global conversations. These were the teachers who trained the best Indian scholars of the post-Independence period. They engaged creatively both with the classical Indian tradition and with the philosophy of the West, forging a new Indian philosophical idiom to which contemporary Indian and global philosophy are indebted.
Download or read book Age of Entanglement written by Kris Manjapra and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-06 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Age of Entanglement explores patterns of connection linking German and Indian intellectuals from the nineteenth century to the years after the Second World War. Kris Manjapra traces the intersecting ideas and careers of a diverse collection of individuals from South Asia and Central Europe who shared ideas, formed networks, and studied one another’s worlds. Moving beyond well-rehearsed critiques of colonialism towards a new critical approach, this study recasts modern intellectual history in terms of the knotted intellectual itineraries of seeming strangers. Collaborations in the sciences, arts, and humanities produced extraordinary meetings of German and Indian minds. Meghnad Saha met Albert Einstein, Stella Kramrisch brought the Bauhaus to Calcutta, and Girindrasekhar Bose began a correspondence with Sigmund Freud. Rabindranath Tagore traveled to Germany to recruit scholars for a new Indian university, and the actor Himanshu Rai hired director Franz Osten to help establish movie studios in Bombay. These interactions, Manjapra argues, evinced shared responses to the cultural and political hegemony of the British empire. Germans and Indians hoped to find in one another the tools needed to disrupt an Anglocentric world order. As Manjapra demonstrates, transnational intellectual encounters are not inherently progressive. From Orientalism and Aryanism to socialism and scientism, German–Indian entanglements were neither necessarily liberal nor conventionally cosmopolitan, often characterized as much by manipulation as by cooperation. Age of Entanglement underscores the connections between German and Indian intellectual history, revealing the characteristics of a global age when the distance separating Europe and Asia seemed, temporarily, to disappear.

Download or read book Indian Renaissance and Rabindranath Tagore written by Inder Nath Choudhuri and published by Vani Prakashan. This book was released on 2019-10-24 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These articles are mostly lectures delivered in the past many years on Tagore in different forums within India and abroad and also during my stay at Edinburgh Napier University as First Tagore Chair. These lectures on different aspects on Tagore are mostly concerned with his time and his multifaceted creativity, a discussion on myth, orality and folklore with reference to Tagore, intellectual conflict and companionship between Tagore and Gandhi. There are similarly articles on Tagore and his intellectual cum logical and reasoned relationship with Jagadish Chandra Bose, Mahalanobis and Ramananda Chattopadhyay and their idea about India. This idea of India was further elaborated with reference to Swami Vivekananda and also with reference to post colonialism. One will also find how Tagore could renounce his long time friendship with Kakuzo (Tenshin Okakura for the sake of establishing peace against war in the world. The book also relates the story of Gitanjali and people's false publicity that W. B. Yeats corrected English of the poems of Gitanjali. With reference to Gitanjali there is a long discussion on Medieval Indian Bhakti Poetry of Conversion and Subversion and Continuity of a Tradition. This book deals with the life and his much splendored creativity under the big sun umbrella of Indian Renaissance whose reality was for the first time was brought into focus of public domain. —Indra Nath Choudhuri
