Hardcover. Zustand: New. History of Benares (from the earliest times down to 1937) is a remarkable work on the sacred city of Kashi/Banaras. Kashi was first mentioned in the Atharva Veda. The Skand Purana detailed Shiva's arrival in the city and his pledge to never forsake it. Along with Videha, Kashi acquired early fame as a centre of Upanishadic discourse. Kashi experienced its first Muslim attack in 1033 CE. Thereafter it suffered repeated assaults. The net result was that Banaras of the Puranic mahatmyas was completely obliterated. Professor Altekar has provided a valuable account of the Vishvanath temple built by Narayana Bhatta/Todar Mal in 1585. He asserts that it was built on the site of an earlier 14th-15th-century temple, that was pulled down, probably on the directions of Sikandar Lodi. Aurangzeb's order for the demolition of the Vishvanath temple was recorded by Saqi Mustaid Khan, in his Maasir-i-Alamgiri. In 1777 CE, Ahilya Bai Holkar of Indore built the present Vishvanath temple on a plot of land about fifty feet square. In the concluding section of his book, Professor Altekar highlights the contribution of the Rajas of Banaras in a remarkable revival of Hindu traditions. No less commendable was the initiative of Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya in establishing the Benares Hindu University. The Introduction and Notes at the end of each chapter have been written by Meenakshi Jain, which further adds value to this work. Some illustrations have also been added to enhance the visual appeal of the book.

Certain aspects covered in this book are student-teacher relationship, primary education, female education, educational institutes, society, aims and achievements, rituals associated with edu­cation such as yajnopavita, curricula methods, examination systems, convocation ceremonies, and pedagogical skills cum techniques, etc. This book will be largely beneficial to researchers and students inter­ested in ancient India and history of education.

This volume covers the roles and status of women during the Hindu period. The author examines various sources, such as Vedic texts, Epics, Buddhist and Jaina literature, Smriti, classical Sanskrit works, and foreign accounts, including missionary writings and modern feminist works, for his study. The author discusses the phases involved in women's lives, such as childhood, marital life/divorce, widowhood, and public life, as well as their positions regarding religion, inheritance rights, and their relation­ship with modern feminist movements in Europe.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 5th or later Edition. There are some monographs which deal with the position of Hindu women in particular periods of Indian history, but no work has as yet been written which reviews their position throughout the long history of Hindu civilisation. An attempt has been made in this book to describe the position of women in Hindu civilisation from prehistoric times to the present day, and to indicate the general lines on which the various problems that confront Hindu women (and therefore men also) should be tackled in order to get a fairly satisfactory solution. The opening chapter deals with the problems relating to the childhood and education of women. Then follow two chapters (II and III), which deal with the numerous complex problems connected with marriage and married life. In the next two chapters (IV and V), the position of the widow in society has been considered. The place of women in public life and religion has been dealt with in chapters VI and VII. In chapters VIII and IX various questions connected with proprietary rights have been discussed. Fashions of dress, ornaments and coiffure are described in chapter X, and illustrated with eight plates. Chapter XI deals with the general attitude of society towards women, both in normal and abnormal times and situations. The Position of Women in Hindu Civilization will enable the reader to understand the subject in true perspective, as it is based upon a critical and impartial survey of all the available data. The work not only surveys the position of Hindu women during the last four thousand years but also indicates the general lines on which the present day problems confronting them should be solved. The treatment is quite impartial; the limitations of the Hindu Civilization have not been passed over nor its excellences exaggerated, nor vice versa. The subject has never been treated with such realism, accuracy, impartiality and comprehensiveness. The general reader will find the book absorbingly interesting. The scholar will find it original and illuminating. The student of sociology will find it stimulating and indispensable.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 4th Edition. The present work by a well-known authority on Ancient India deals in a comprehensive manner with the ancient Hindu political ideas, theories and ideals and describes the different features and aspects of the ancient Indian administration in its numerous branches. It is based not merely on a study of the different Smrti books and Arthasastra works in Sanskrit, which give us the theoretical picture, but it also utilizes fully all the data bearing on the subject available in Vedic and classical literature. Buddhist and Jain works, ancient books on history and accounts of foreign travelers and historians. Rich material supplied by inscriptions has been fully tapped and the discerning critic will not be unwilling to concede that no previous work on the subject attempts to give such a comprehensive synthesis of the divergent data supplied by theoretical and literary works on the one hand and by inscriptions and purely historical records on the other. The material has been arranged chronologically and also province-wise, whenever it was possible to do so. In each chapter, an attempt has been made to trace the development of political theories and institutions from age to age, though the material in some cases was not quite sufficient to do so. This book is mainly a research work, which documents all important statements it makes and throws fresh light on several important and obscure points. The subject matter has been presented in a manner calculated to be attractive and intelligible to the general reader as well.
