Soft cover. Zustand: New. Rogues among the Ruins portray the conflict of civil servants caught between ideals and thirst for success. The novel adopts the style of great masters like Gogol and Cervantes who, in their search for truth, evoke laughter through tears. The first part of the novel is a gripping fictionalized account of the workings of the Archaeological Survey of India and the painful predicaments of a dedicated but naïve scholar faced with temptations. The scholar's son, a morally indifferent bureaucrat, chronicles a later era in the second part. Through tawdry dramas, administrative acrobatics of sycophants and hypocrites, he encounters the sordid reality of powerful men and women who think they rule the country. With sardonic humour, sympathy and reluctant respect the narrator takes the reader on a journey through Glory Road where principles are discarded by the ambitious, where the proud encounter humiliations, where idealists are scorned, and sometimes those with stubborn strength overcome ordeals.…

Dialogue of Civilizations William Jones and the Orientalists is a sweeping account of the movement that began in 1784 by Warren Hastings the then Governor General of India Sir William Jones Halhed Wilkins Colebrooke Prinsep Wilson and others to rediscover the civilization of India. It is no small irony that this movement began in the heyday of a nascent imperialism and under the patronage of the East India Company. The authors describe how this happened set against the turbulence of the times in India. The work of the early British scholars aroused the curiosity of scholars in Germany where Indology and Sanskrit studies rose to brilliant heights. The vast and comprehensive work of German scholars made Berlin the Benaras of India. Since Germany had no empire in India German Indology was different in flavour and spirit from British Indology. Simultaneously Russian Indology developed on its own with a growing sympathy for a nation of great heritage who was under alien rule. Their contribution to Indology in the nineteenth and twentieth century was formidable. Italy and Hungary too had their share of outstanding Indologists and Tibetologists. The author give a comprehensive description of the contribution of these great scholars. The theory of civilization its clashes conflicts and interactions is discussed at some length with erudition and originality.…
